Open research agents and analyst workflows connecting sustainability evidence to financial materiality, security valuation, portfolio decisions, impact and stewardship.
Institutional-quality buy-side research · Tradable decision support · Traceable evidence · Auditable workflows · Human judgment
Research philosophy: AI should expand research coverage without obscuring sources, assumptions, uncertainty, legal boundaries or analyst accountability. “Institutional-quality” describes process design and review controls—not independent certification, guaranteed compliance or investment performance.

| Agent | Investment question |
|---|---|
| Sustainability-to-Financial-Materiality Analysis | Which sustainability issues change revenue, margins, cash flow, credit or valuation—and by how much? |
| Transition-Plan Credibility Assessment | Are issuer targets supported by comparable boundaries, funded implementation and observable delivery? |
| Sustainable Bond Diligence Agent | Does a labelled or transition bond combine acceptable underlying credit, credible sustainability claims and investable relative value? |
| Labelled-Bond and Sustainability-Linked-Bond Diligence | What is the specific bond’s credit, contractual, KPI, label and relative-value case? |
| Climate Investment AI Agent | How do physical and transition risks transmit into equity valuation and bond credit? |
| Agent | Investment question |
|---|---|
| Portfolio Carbon Accounting and Attribution | What emissions are financed, how complete is the inventory, and why did it change? |
| Sustainable-Investment Mandate Assessment | Does evidence support the stated mandate under the versioned prospectus and applicable rulebook, and where is the result unknown? |
| Stewardship and Controversy Assessment | What is evidenced, what change is sought, and what escalation or investment review is warranted? |
| Sustainable Investment Agent for SFDR Article 8 & 9 Funds | How can sustainable-investment research, binding elements, stewardship, impact and disclosure be organized into repeatable workflows? |
| Agent | Investment question |
|---|---|
| Nature and Biodiversity Investment Agent | How do ecosystem dependencies, impacts and outcomes connect to financial underwriting without inventing a universal biodiversity score? |
| Human-Rights and Social-Value-Chain Diligence | Who may be harmed, how severe is the risk, and what prevention, remedy and investment response is evidenced? |
| Impact and Blended-Finance Assessment | What outcomes and financing are plausibly additional, who bears risk, and is the structure commercially and developmentally defensible? |
| Sovereign and Social-Impact Finance Agent | How do sovereign repayment, contractual recourse, fiscal economics, additionality and social outcomes fit together? |
The repositories are designed around inspectable research-process controls:
- Evidence lineage: source IDs, dates, document locations and entity/instrument boundaries.
- Financial transmission: sustainability issues must connect to explicit cash-flow, credit, valuation or portfolio assumptions when an investment conclusion is made.
- Reproducible calculations: deterministic helpers expose inputs, units and assumptions rather than hiding arithmetic in prose.
- Missing-data discipline: unknown or unverified evidence remains unknown; material gaps can block approval.
- Revision control: upstream changes can invalidate downstream analysis and prior review.
- Independent challenge: counterarguments, thesis breakers and unresolved issues remain visible.
- Human accountability: agents support research decisions; they do not self-approve investments or execute trades.
The objective is to move from:
Sustainability disclosure
↓
Material issue
↓
Financial transmission
↓
Security / portfolio implication
↓
Valuation, relative value or risk
↓
Catalyst / monitoring trigger
↓
Human investment decision
A sustainability claim is not treated as a trade thesis by itself. Likewise, a credible label, target or impact narrative does not substitute for credit quality, valuation, liquidity or portfolio constraints.

sf_agent/ → executable workflow and calculations
schemas/ → structured input/output contracts
skills/ → bounded analytical capabilities
prompts/ → specialist research instructions
references/ → methodology and source controls
examples/ → synthetic worked examples
tests/ → regression and control tests
.github/workflows/ → GitHub CI validation

These repositories are research and educational infrastructure. They are not investment advice, broker systems, autonomous trading agents, independent audit opinions or certifications of regulatory compliance. Most workflows require a human or external AI host to retrieve authorized evidence and perform substantive research. Inspect each repository’s methodology, validation scope and limitations before relying on its output.
