Mashinii is a search engine that scores companies across 11 ethical dimensions using evidence from court records, regulatory actions, investigative journalism, and NGO reports. It provides individual investors, financial advisors, and quantitative funds with cited, dimension-specific integrity scores rather than a single blended ESG rating. The platform currently covers 6,000+ companies and offers free company searches, portfolio audits, and API access.

Problem
Traditional ESG ratings aggregate diverse corporate behaviors into a single blended score, obscuring critical distinctions—such as a company receiving a top ESG grade while also being designated a war sponsor or major defense contractor. This opacity leaves investors, advisors, and funds unable to see exactly what their money is funding, undermining ethical investment decisions and exposing them to reputational and values-based risks.
Solution
Mashinii provides a search engine that scores companies separately across 11 ethical dimensions—including No War, Fair Pay, and Planet-Friendly Business—based exclusively on public-record evidence rather than corporate disclosure. The platform sources data from court records, regulatory actions, investigative journalism, and NGO reports, ensuring every claim is cited and verifiable. Users can search any of 6,000+ companies to see individual dimension scores, audit entire portfolios by uploading holdings, and access the data via API for quantitative analysis. This approach reveals what blended ESG ratings miss, such as Microsoft scoring -40 on No War despite an AAA rating, or 65% of popular ESG ETF holdings receiving negative average scores.
Target Audience
Primary users are individual investors, financial advisors, and quantitative funds who need transparent, evidence-based ethical scores to make informed investment decisions and respond to client or stakeholder questions about corporate conduct.
