Narrative analysis

TruValue (FactSet) emphasizes event transparency: Spotlight Events, summaries, z-scores/event significance, and explicit SASB-category mapping.
MSCI emphasizes a ratings framework and ongoing monitoring using data points plus AI/ML and a research staff.
Sustainalytics emphasizes a two-dimensional framework (exposure + management) and defined risk levels, presenting outputs as an absolute measure of risk.

Adoption/market signals:

MSCI ratings availability via major terminals suggests broad distribution.
FactSet’s acquisition and subsequent integration indicate that TruValue is now part of a broader financial data ecosystem rather than a standalone niche tool.
