Launch HN: ProvenMetal (YC S26) — Rapid PCB Delivery in Days, Not Weeks

ProvenMetal, a Y Combinator S26 company, is redefining the speed of hardware iteration. They provide high-speed circuit board production with a standard turnaround that eliminates the traditional wait times.

"Speed is the game."

⚡ The 7-Day Standard

Unlike traditional vendors, ProvenMetal offers a 7-day standard turn with absolutely ~~no expedite fees~~.

The timeline is simple: once you approve the quote, your boards ship within seven business days.

Timeline Calculation: $T_{delivery} = \text{Quote Approval} + 7 \text{ Business Days}$

Milestone	Status	Action/Result
Day 0	`Approved`	Quote is finalized and signed off
Day 1-6	`Processing`	Sourcing, Fabrication, and Assembly
Day 7	`Shipped`	Boards leave the facility

🛠️ The Production Workflow

ProvenMetal manages the entire lifecycle within a domestic supply chain to ensure maximum velocity and reliability.

Detailed Phase Breakdown:

Phase 01: Source & Verify
- All components are procured from US-based suppliers.
- Every part is cross-referenced against your BOM (Bill of Materials) before production begins.
Phase 02: Fabricate & Assemble
- Production is handled via a network of vetted US partners.
- ProvenMetal manages the process directly rather than passing it between third-party vendors.
Phase 03: Test & Ship
- Rigorous testing is performed on every single board.
- Shipments include a comprehensive quality record.

🛡️ Full Accountability & Quality

ProvenMetal doesn't just move fast; they provide a verifiable paper trail for every board produced.

Our Quality Guarantee:

Domestic sourcing for all components.
End-to-end process ownership (no vendor hand-offs).
Pre-shipment inspection and verification.

Every order is accompanied by a data record similar to this structure:

{
  "order_id": "PM-12345",
  "sourcing": "US-Domestic",
  "verification": "BOM-Matched",
  "test_status": "PASSED",
  "quality_record": "Attached"
}

🚀 Iterative Speed

Because ProvenMetal maintains the history of your project, they start from your last revision. This means that subsequent revs are processed even more efficiently than the first.
