Gap-filling

2AI Enrichment

Raw registry data only tells you an organisation exists. Our AI profiler scrapes websites and annual reports with Jina + Firecrawl, then extracts giving philosophy, focus areas, application tips, grant ranges, board members, and wealth sources. We rotate across 9 LLM providers (MiniMax, Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, Kimi, Perplexity, OpenAI, Anthropic, and more) using free tiers first to keep costs near zero. Grant descriptions are enriched the same way — scraping source URLs with Cheerio and extracting eligibility criteria, deadlines, and funding amounts. Social enterprises get the same treatment — AI-generated profiles with sectors, services, impact areas, and certifications from ORIC, Social Traders, BuyAbility, B Corp, and state directories.

3Layer 2: Market Intelligence

The entity graph connects 99,000+ entities across datasets — linking charities to their contracts, donations, tax records, and corporate relationships. Layer 2 turns raw data into market intelligence: who connects to whom, where money concentrates, and which communities are underserved. Reports update automatically as new data arrives.

4Layer 3: Community Proof

The proof layer connects financial data to community evidence via Empathy Ledger — governed impact stories verified by the communities they describe. Meanwhile, 45+ autonomous agents keep the data fresh: the Grant Monitor runs daily, the Foundation Watcher checks websites weekly, and the Entity Resolver links records across datasets. Every agent run is logged for full transparency.
