Most of the examples I provided are due to differing country codes; their site fails to recognize things like Alphabet trading on a Mexican stock exchange is still the same company: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GOOGL.MX/ https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GOOGL.MX/ $GOOGL.MX scoring differently than other $GOOGL listings makes me extremely skeptical that humans are diligently creating these scores (finance professionals should've recognized that secondary listings like $GOOGL.MX don't need their own scoring)

Scores on different exchanges may be due to varying behavior by international subsidiaries -- MSFT in Australia may be doing something objectionable that MSFT US does not do, for example. I'm not sure though. What I think is more likely is that it's a dumb oversight in the web app and/or data - maybe an intern stubbed out international stocks and it got pushed to production

  > international subsidiaries Secondary listings allow entire companies to trade on multiple exchanges (not just corresponding subsidiaries) So I agree that it was likely just a mistake to list multiple listings of the same companies, but the fact that they usually receive different scores proves their process isn't diligent: * $GOOGL.MX is dinged for multiple non-Mexico-specific violations that the other listing isn't

    I think there's 2 sides of the company: - (1) Insight scores - (2) ETF management I think the pipeline between (1) and (2) is probably tight within the company (probably a few big Excel spreadsheets) and the (2) side has a lot of brains. But the (1) side needs to do more work on the pipeline between those spreadsheets and the Web, and maybe hire more/better software dev help for that. They'd do better to use Postgres as their source of truth.

      > (1) Insight scores > (2) ETF management (1) seems like their (stated) differentiator itself; plenty of organizations already offer ETFs that omit selected companies I doubt their data is cleaner internally than it is on their website. They're bringing in millions annually from their expense ratios: https://www.inspireetf.com/etfs https://www.inspireetf.com/etfs and overpromising/underdelivering on their ability to diligently deliver (1)
