Investor Ready MVP Checklist: Security, Compliance, and Provenance Evidence
Investors want proof that your MVP is production-ready. This checklist covers the security, compliance, and provenance evidence that separates fundable products from science projects.
Investors audit your stack before funding it
Due diligence teams evaluate security posture, compliance evidence, and supply chain transparency before committing capital. An MVP that cannot demonstrate these controls faces harder questions, lower valuations, and longer closing timelines.
The provenance checklist investors expect
Cover dependency provenance, vulnerability tracking, AI-origin documentation, access controls, and incident response plans. Each item should produce an auditable artifact — a report, a log, a policy document — rather than a verbal assurance.
How ProvenanceOS accelerates investor readiness
Today ProvenanceOS scans public repositories, checks npm and PyPI packages against OSV, and records an AI-origin score over a bounded sample. Compliance-report export remains planned, so teams still need companion documentation for a formal audit pack.
