Live Provenance

Live Provenance Certification (LP-CERT) is founded on establishing the provenance of transactions with a safe trading and provenance building Ecosystem.The scheme enables the bespoke product-originating individuals and organisations (local cooperatives or SMEs), supported by the hub  for the Ecosystem, to find ways to improve and demonstrate the provenance of their single origin maker-identified  products that they create.
 
This is effected   all along the supply chain to the end users (usually customers of local specialist retailers and direct  clients of the Ecosystem’s hub world-wide) who purchase the top-quality bespoke single-origin products with Live provenance certification, confirmed by a QR code on their packaging
 
Each Live Provenance certification scheme also enables all parties within in a defied  Ecosystem (especially end-users) to explore the Live provenance of the certified single-origin bespoke products and also to discover the provenance of what is being  achieved “on the ground” in terms of social, economic and cultural innovation enabled bottom-up by the certified product’s originating organisations, hub and local communities  enabled through  live provenance  Certification.
 
 For example the creative originators in the Leonandri direct trading and provenance building network are embroiders of fine Lefkara Lace , creations, the products are packaged and distributed by the Leonandri hub in Skarinou, Cyprus to retail outlets (specialist shops, where the end users purchase these products). The end users may also be individuals who commission and purchase individual Live Provenance certified bespoke lace products directly from the Leonandri hub. the picture below shows front and back views of one such Live Provenance certified product:

In this way,
the LP certified bespoke product’s live provenance can be explored and authenticated by the end users themselves. These end users will consequently be happy to pay a premium price for this bespoke product as it marks their own association with this good live provenance, and their active participation in maintaining it through purchasing the particular Live provenance certified product.

In general, these Live Provenance Certification schemes are initiated within ecosystems that flourish in a climate of trust and transparency, often founded on cooperative structures
Each Live Provenance certification scheme is supported by a Provenance exploration and demonstration support (PEDS) platform enables all parties within in a particular Ecosystem (especially end-users) to explore the Live provenance of the certified single-origin bespoke products and also to discover the provenance of what is being achieved “on the ground” in terms of social, economic and cultural innovation enabled bottom-up by the certified product’s originating organisation, often operating as a cooperative.
