Technology
Like a self-driving car for ESG data sourcing.
ESG data is disclosed in unstructured, non-standardised formats — PDFs, webpages, scanned documents. Manual collection still dominates. It’s slow, costly and wrong.
Our AI pipeline completely redefines this. Accurate, unbiased, source-verified ESG data — on any company, anywhere, in under 15 minutes.
3 inputs only — identifier, country, year
Any company · any country · any language
Data collection often takes less than 5 minutes
Raw, traceable data — no scores, no proxies, no bias
The difference
Traditional manual collection vs Cleartraced
Manual. Slow. Error-prone.
AI-powered. Fast. Verified.
How flawless accuracy is reached
Six steps from raw PDF to audit-ready datapoint

Source Official Documents
Our system locates and downloads official annual reports, sustainability reports and regulatory filings — and also scrapes each company’s full website for additional official documents such as Human Rights Policies, Codes of Conduct and other ESG-relevant disclosures.

Process Reports
Advanced OCR and parsing converts PDFs, scans, tables and charts into structured, machine-readable text — including complex layouts and multi-language documents.
PDF → structured text + table data
Extract & Structure
Schema-locked LLM prompts perform semantic search and context-aware extraction. Datapoints are captured with high precision, harmonised to standard units and structured for analysis.
Standardise
All extracted data is normalised into common taxonomies and regulatory frameworks before storage — CSRD, EBA, SFDR, GRI, TCFD — enabling consistent cross-company comparison.
GHG_scope1 → ESRS E1-6 · EBA P1
energy_total → ESRS E1-5 · GRI 302
board_gender → ESRS G1 · GRI 405
Human-in-the-loop
5-Layer Scoring + Expert Review
A rule-based scoring system evaluates every datapoint across 5 layers. Anomalies are automatically flagged for expert human review — combining AI speed with specialist judgement. This is where our 98.5% accuracy is earned.

The AI advantage
What our technology enables that humans simply cannot.
Our pipeline processes a company’s full annual report from scratch in under 15 minutes. A human analyst needs days — and can only work one report at a time.
Coverage is not constrained by analyst headcount. Our AI scales to any company, in any country, in any language — simultaneously.
When a company publishes a new report, our system detects it and updates automatically — no analyst queue, no delay.
Because automation eliminates the expensive manual layer, we can deliver enterprise-grade data at a fraction of the cost — with higher accuracy and broader coverage.
