Provings Lab

Run a collaborative proving with your group — and let every prover record what they experienced in the way that comes naturally to them.

Coordinate the whole proving

A proving lives in one place: the protocol, the people, and every observation that comes back.

  • Create a proving with its substance, its dates and your instructions to the provers.
  • The substance stays visible to you alone for as long as the proving is blinded.
  • Invite other Similia users by email — nobody takes part until they accept.
  • Decide before you start whether provers can see one another. You can hide identities later, but never reveal them once someone has been added.
  • Creating and coordinating a proving is part of Similia Pro; the provers you invite can take part on any plan.

However the prover wants to record it

Not everyone writes. The composer offers four ways into the same observation feed.

  • Type the observation straight in.
  • Speak it and have it transcribed into editable text, in the language you speak.
  • Photograph handwritten pages and let the text be extracted from them.
  • Attach a drawing or a photograph with a caption.

One record you can actually review

Observations arrive in a single feed, each one carrying who recorded it, how, and when it was observed.

  • As coordinator you see every participant's observations in one place.
  • Spoken entries keep the language they were spoken in.
  • Transcription and handwriting recognition are optional, and need each participant's explicit consent.
  • Audio and images are processed under zero-data-retention terms, and uploaded images have their location and device metadata stripped.
  • Close the proving when it ends and the whole record becomes read-only.
