SustainTrace: Evidence-Grounded ESG Knowledge Discovery and Controlled Repair

SustainTrace is a local-first, auditable ESG knowledge infrastructure that converts corporate reports into atomic evidence-linked facts, preserves typed extraction failures as reusable method knowledge, and controls repair and promotion through deterministic validation and human-gated admission. This release includes the cross-platform software, embedded knowledge seed, RQ1–RQ3 evaluation artifacts, and the SoftwareX manuscript source.
