Confidence
How research confidence is calculated
Confidence is never arbitrary. It is derived from four measurable inputs.
Source Categories (0–25 pts)
How many of the 15 defined source categories have been validated for this investment.
Evidence Quality (0–25 pts)
Proportion of evidence from Tier 1 official sources vs supporting sources.
Cross Validation (0–25 pts)
Percentage of research checks validated across multiple independent sources.
Research Freshness (0–25 pts)
Age of the oldest critical source. Full points if all sources refreshed within 30 days.
Limitations
What we cannot guarantee
Holdings change over time — our research reflects a point-in-time assessment
Corporate structures are complex — indirect exposure may not be captured
Sharia methodologies vary between providers (AAOIFI, S&P, FTSE, MSCI)
This platform does not provide financial advice or religious rulings
Transparency is our methodology. Evidence is our foundation. Independent research is our commitment.
We don't ask you to trust our conclusions. We show you how we reached them.
