CLEARSIGHT™

Transition readiness, measured. Not disclosed. Funded.

Across the 1,052 largest listed entities on 21 Asia-Pacific and Middle East exchanges, the annual cost of standing still is approximately US$2.5 trillion, a floor that rises as measurement sharpens.

Disclosure does not predict funded action. 475 entities disclose a transition plan or target. 414 show no visible capital behind it. 61 hold committed, ring-fenced transition capital at audit grade. None yet reach the delivery tiers.

Recognition

The First 100

Sixty-one entities have crossed the capital gate while it is still rare. The First 100 will be named. Funded readiness deserves daylight. Everything else stays private. Your result belongs in your boardroom before it belongs anywhere else.

Architecture

The Method

Five tiers. A binary capital gate, readable in audited accounts under any reporting regime. Six channels of dollar-denominated exposure. Architecture published in the ESG Institute's Long-Term Value at Risk working paper series (SSRN, 2026). Calibration proprietary and licensed. Index governance mapped to the IOSCO Principles for Financial Benchmarks.

We measure. The papers are the open record of what we found and how. The ESG Institute is the index administrator. Product issuers, not us, manage money against the measure. Nothing here is investment advice.
