SustainaCore.org Releases 1.0 · Open Beta

LONDON — August 14, 2025.

SustainaCore.org today announced the Open Beta of Release 1.0, bringing free, public access to ESG data exploration, an AI research chat, and professional-grade index analytics built on Oracle Autonomous Database and APEX. The launch also introduces live pages for the company’s flagship TECH 100 AI Governance & Ethics coverage, along with a lightweight JSON API for developers.

What’s in Release 1.0 • AI Research Chat (“Ask SustainaCore”) — a focused assistant that answers only from SustainaCore’s own corpus via a retrieval-augmented pipeline and Oracle Vector Search; exposed as a simple POST /ask endpoint for integration. • Index Analytics Pages — performance vs. benchmarks, risk snapshots, and attribution-ready views powered by curated tables and REST-enabled views in APEX. • Open Data Building Blocks — daily index levels and benchmark references available on site and via JSON endpoints, designed to be stable and idempotent for downstream use.

How it works The stack is deliberately simple: ETL jobs populate Oracle tables and views; ORDS exposes selected endpoints; APEX renders UX; an always-free VM hosts the /ask API. This keeps costs near zero while preserving enterprise-grade reliability and auditability.

Availability Release 1.0 is live now at SustainaCore.org. Developers can test against the documented endpoints immediately; the team will iterate during Open Beta with a focus on stability and accessibility.
