Clarity where there was fog.
An objective, math-based framework for the risk nobody else is quantifying.
Fiduciary duty, drawn as a compass.
The outer ring ensures — at a glance — that performance is never sacrificed for ideology. Five inner dimensions distill ~980 signals into one overall score, so any fiduciary can make a decision in seconds, not weeks.

VIA3 Framework
Chad walks through the five dimensions and how they’re weighted against financial performance.
We take corporate actions as ground truth, not self-reporting.
Legacy tools grade companies on the story they tell about themselves. VIA3 reads the story the world tells about them — news, court documents, and thousands of other sources — to compare against regulatory and other disclosures.
Every score is built on four forensic layers: stated intentions, actions, duplicity, and remediation — with citations, materiality, reliability, and rationales attached to every answer.
From the universe of data to a single, actionable compass.
- 01InputsOur AI ingests “the universe” — regulatory filings, news, court documents, and more — generating ~980 data points per security.
- 02ProcessingWe analyze 28 risk factors across five dimensions (Values, Impact, Analysis, Alignment, Activism), processing millions of data points.
- 03OutputA FICO-style assessment for every security, scored 0–100 and weighted against financial performance for at-a-glance decision making.
- 04ActionAsk Janet for research, custom portfolio construction, and benchmarking — or trade out and trade up without sacrificing performance.
