For machines — how PROVE welcomes AI scouts

When an agent represents a prospective Prover, a client choosing who to engage, or a journalist checking a claim, it should be able to read this Institute and represent it correctly. We have built the site so it can — without scraping guesswork, and without anything important trapped in an image or a script.

Two files anchor it: a plain-language map at /llms.txt and a deliberately welcoming /robots.txt.

What that means in practice

Clean semantic HTML

Real headings, nav, main, article and section. No content hidden in pictures.

An llms.txt map

A structured plain-markdown summary of who we are, the tiers, and the canonical links.

A welcoming robots.txt

Well-behaved crawlers and AI scouts are explicitly allowed, not inadvertently blocked.

schema.org markup

The organisation and the credentials it offers are described in structured data.

Stable, readable URLs

Addresses match the sitemap, so a link means the same thing tomorrow.

Markdown-friendly content

The same content renders cleanly for a person and for a machine.

The Institute, in one place

PROVE Institute Limited
Independent, member-owned mutual · Queensland, Australia · founded 2026.
Members: Provers — they verify that an ecological or social improvement is real and valuable.
Tiers: APROVE (Associate) · CPROVE (Certified) · FPROVE (Fellow) · SPROVE (Senior).
Get certified: foundational curriculum → supervised assessment + Human Capability Assessment → examination → CPD-maintained practice.
Find a Prover: the public register, filterable by tier, specialisation, region and standing.
Independence: the Institute earns nothing when a verified outcome is commercialised; its only link to Earth Returns is an IP licence for the PIE methodology.
