Step 1
Source Capture
We ingest integrated, sustainability, and annual report disclosures, then extract text, tables, and evidence signals.

Sustainability Index Methodology
The Sustainability Index uses a hybrid AHP + Entropy model to convert long sustainability disclosures into a consistent, explainable score.
How Scoring Works
AHP + Entropy Hybrid Pipeline
AHP captures expert priority across ESG differentiators. Entropy adjusts weights using disclosure information density from the extracted report data.
Step 2
Metric Extraction
We structure ESG disclosures into measurable indicators, including the 10 differentiator metrics used for hybrid scoring.
Step 3
Normalization
Each metric is normalized to a comparable 0-1 scale with direction handling (higher-better vs lower-better).
Step 4
Hybrid Weights
Final metric weights combine AHP (subject-matter priorities) and Entropy (data-driven information content).
Step 5
Final Index
Overall score is computed on a 0-100 scale with missing-metric penalties to reward transparent disclosure quality.
Scoring Formula
Hybrid Weights
w_final = 0.6 * w_AHP + 0.4 * w_entropy
Balances expert judgment with objective signal strength from extracted metrics.
Index Score
score = 100 * Sigma(w_final_i * x_i) - missing penalties
Missing critical disclosures reduce score, rewarding reporting completeness and traceability.
