Every control recomputes all 500 companies live. The carbon price moves every number here except the allocation. The missing data moves the money.
The index has no identified sustainability ranking.
Commercial ESG ratings run on numbers a company chooses to publish about itself. 74% of the S&P 500 later revised those numbers (Cohen, Rouen and Sachdeva, Nature Climate Change, 2026). So we scored the index only on what it files under legal penalty, ran every defensible modelling choice at once, and kept what held.
Say and do
There is no identified ranking, and the weights are not the reason
Ten thousand draws over normalisation, winsorisation, pillar inclusion, the missing-data assumption, aggregation, sector framing and the weights themselves.
A Paris-Aligned fund sells the decarbonisers
Three books built against Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1818, article by article, against a fourth that applies the position cap and no carbon rule at all. Then a Brinson decomposition, to find out who actually did the cutting.
What we cannot see, stated as a number
Where the mandatory record stops, the score stops with it.
