Recommendation Provenance
AI made an investment call. We score it, in public.
AIRVS — The Recommendation Provenance Standard.
Our POV
A world where any AI-generated investment opinion can be checked in 5 seconds — by anyone, with provenance.
Read our 5-year vision →The Standard
What does AIRVS look at?
Four independent dimensions, never summed into one number: six process axes (Pass/Fail, evidence-gated), macro/micro coherence (3 tiers), outcome tracked at D+30/60/90/180, and a single verdict label.
Data Source
Sources real, primary, and tier-classified — each claim cites where it came from.
Reasoning Logic
The argument holds from premise to conclusion.
Counter Scenario
≥2 downside cases, each with a primary source and weighted probabilities.
Timing
Explicit entry window and a standard horizon — not an open-ended bet.
Accuracy / Hallucination
No non-existent tickers, fabricated figures, or invented facts.
Causal Chain
The cited sources actually support the stated conclusion.

This week's verification
Preview — sample data. Live verifications begin once real records are published.
Differentiation
Why AIRVS, not vendor self-checks?
01
Open by design
Methodology and data released under CC BY 4.0. Anyone can audit, reuse, and challenge it.
02
Cited by peers
Versioned with a DOI, archived on Zenodo, authored under ORCID — built to be referenced.
03
Multi-provider
Every AI is graded on the same bar. No vendor scores its own homework.
04
Public methodology
No black box. The rubric and each evaluator's decision rule are published before any verification.
“Standards belong to the standard, not the vendor.”
The problem
Who's accountable?
An AI told you to buy. When it's wrong, no one signed their name to it.
Re-runs don't match.
Ask the same model twice and the recommendation can change. We log the distribution.
Self-graded trust.
“Trust score” sites are graded by their own publishers. The information value is near zero.
How it works
The verification lifecycle
Publish
An AI investment recommendation is captured with its full context.
Process score
Six axes, Pass/Fail, each gated on cited evidence.
Coherence + outcome
Macro/micro coherence, then return vs benchmark at D+30/60/90/180.
Verdict
A five-tier label from a pre-published, version-locked decision rule.
