How sector scans work
We audit every major player in a sector using the same methodology, at the same time. The result is more than individual grades. It's a map of the industry's relationship with the truth.
Every organisation gets a full E-S-C audit. The sector report adds a comparative layer: who's ahead, who's behind, and what the whole industry is avoiding.
What a sector report includes
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Grade comparison | E-S-C grades for every organisation in the scan, ranked by dimension |
| Pattern analysis | Claims that appear across 50%+ of organisations, revealing the industry's messaging baseline |
| Gap mapping | Claims nobody in the sector substantiates, regardless of grade |
| Regulatory exposure | Which standards are most frequently triggered, and which organisations face the most concentrated risk |
| Individual findings | Each organisation receives its own findings, evidence citations, and right of reply |

Which sector should we scan next?
Ask for an industry in your country. When enough people ask, we price the scan and write to everyone who asked. Confirmed requests are what count, so a working email is what moves a sector up the list.
