Making farm evidence available to every farmer.
Proof is building a global record of what happens on working farms across enterprises, seasons, systems and outcomes. We’re starting with biologicals and biostimulants in arable crops, then expanding the same evidence model across farming.
A public record system for farm evidence.
A contributor records what was tested, what it was compared against, where it was tested broadly, what happened, and what evidence supports the result.
- 01What was tested
- The treatment — typically a biological or biostimulant input.
- 02What it was compared against
- The control — typically an untreated plot or the farm's standard practice.
- 03Where it was tested, broadly
- Crop, season, broad region, soil type — without exposing the farm.
- 04What happened
- The outcome, in real numbers. Positive, null, negative or mixed.
- 05What evidence supports it
- Photographs, yield files, weighbridge tickets, lab reports, agronomist notes.
Field evidence should not disappear after one season.
Proof gives working-farm evidence a permanent public structure, so what happened can still be inspected years later — without exposing private farm data.
Biological products are everywhere. Comparable field evidence is not.
Trials are run every season on real farms, but too much of that evidence stays in private folders, sales decks, WhatsApp messages and memory.
Proof gives that evidence a permanent structure.
The same trial, recorded in the Proof format, survives the season it happened in. It becomes something a farmer in 2030, or 2040, can still inspect.
Five stages from field to public record.
- ICapture
A contributor records a real field trial — what was tested, what it was compared against, under what conditions.
- IICompare
The record shows the treatment, the control, the crop, the soil, the season, and the method.
- IIILock
Once ready, the record is locked. It cannot be quietly rewritten.
- IVPublish
A public redacted version goes live. Anyone can read it, cite it, and inspect it.
- VUpdate openly
Corrections, clarifications and questions are added as visible history — never silent.
Public where the evidence belongs. Private where the farm does.
- Crop and season
- Broad region
- Soil type
- The treatment
- The control
- The outcome, in real numbers
- The supporting evidence
- Declared conflicts
- ████The exact farm
- ████Field boundaries
- ████Precise GPS coordinates
- ████Raw evidence files
- ████Private agronomist notes
- ████Client commercial details
- ████Anything the contributor has not authorised
A trial that did not work is still evidence.
So is a mixed result. So is a null result. So is a record with an imperfect control, if the limits are declared. Proof preserves positive, null, negative and mixed results with the same care.
- PositiveThe treatment showed a measurable benefit against the control under the recorded conditions.
- NullThe treatment showed no measurable difference against the control. The trial still happened. The record still stands.
- NegativeThe treatment showed a measurable disadvantage against the control. This is real evidence; it is preserved as carefully as a positive result.
- MixedOutcomes varied across the trial — by zone, timing, or other declared factor. Preserved with its limits stated.

Proof is opening to contributors who run, support or use treatment-and-control trials. We're starting with biological and biostimulant evidence.
