Major Scoring Engine Overhaul: Introducing GreenScore

We’ve completely rebuilt EcoVeridian’s backend to move away from broad ESG scores and focus on what matters most: Environmental Risk.

Key Updates:

• New "GreenScore" (0-100): Replaced the generic ESG letter grades with a laser-focused environmental risk assessment model.
• 6-Factor Analysis: Every environmental event is now weighted by Impact, Severity, Credibility, Recency, Scope, and Confidence.
• Log-Compressed Modeling: Our new algorithm ensures that major environmental violations aren't "washed out" by minor positive PR.
• Tiered Source Credibility: Integrated a multi-level verification system that prioritizes regulatory data (EPA, UN) over company press releases.
• UI Refresh: Simplified the interface to show you a clear Risk Verdict and the top 3 events driving a company's score.
• Enhanced Search: Upgraded to advanced search depth to better identify lawsuits, spills, and actual green initiatives.

Note: Due to the methodology change, all previous company data has been invalidated. Your next scan will provide a fresh, more accurate analysis.
