The continued focus on financials that many asset managers display today is therefore a paradox, as this approach, taken in isolation, does not offer crucial insights into one of the most important performance drivers - corporate culture. Our goal with this project is to develop a platform that leverages the latest advances in computational linguistics, advanced analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide automated, in-depth insights into corporate culture. To identify and quantify various culture factors, we aim to create a unique database that combines multiple open data sources with quantitative and qualitative data. We also want to create an intelligent linguistic model that reveals correlations between key cultural factors and performance.

However, we believe it can provide better insights, a deeper cultural understanding, and be a unique tool to create value for our investors.
