1 Challenge

The Blind Spots
 of Social Factor
Analysis

Unlike financial data, social impact data lacks standardization and transparency, making it difficult for wealth holders to measure outcomes, assess performance, and scale impact effectively.
Social data is costly and complicated to collect, limiting scalability.
No universal standards for measuring social performance.
Fragmented and unstructured social data makes aggregation and analysis difficult.
Capital allocation is misaligned with real social outcomes.

3 How It Works

The SIS Engine enables social investors
to make data-driven decisions with confidence across
finance and philanthropy.

The SIS Engine combines traditional relational databases with Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance data accuracy, coverage, and adaptability. By continuously updating our taxonomy and methodology in response to shifts in materiality, we ensures that social insights remain relevant, measurable, and actionable. Generating both qualitative analysis and quantitative metrics, the SIS Engine enables social investors to make data-driven decisions with confidence across finance and philanthropy.

The SIS Engine ingests data from government databases, regulatory filings, direct uploads, and other sources, ensuring that retrieved insights align with the taxonomy’s framework.

The knowledge base serves as a central reference system, ensuring consistency, alignment with global standards, and validation of accuracy and comprehensiveness in social data analysis.

The taxonomy defines what data to collect and how to assess it, providing a structured framework for analysis. Designed to be dynamic, it evolves to reflect shifts in materiality and scope, ensuring relevance and adaptability.

The vector database stores unstructured data throughout the data ingestion process. Using LLMs, it identifies and extracts the most relevant insights aligned with the taxonomy, ensuring precise and contextualized summaries for each impact organization.

The relational database stores structured data collected during the ingestion process. Using traditional queries, it calculates quantitative metrics mapped to the taxonomy.

Qualitative information that is relevant for search and comparison and may not be relevant for scoring is structured based on the taxonomy.

Quantitative data is sourced from traditional databases or extracted using LLMs, generating measurable impact indicators that offer clear, numerical benchmarks for analysis. Qualitative data is structured using the SIS taxonomy and LLMs, allowing for standardized analysis across organizations. Rather than assigning scores to inherently subjective social data, SIS provides a framework for evaluating organizations based on structured insights.
