"Our desire is that the Holy Spirit, who is the Divine Revealer and Interpreter of Christ and His truth, may impart to your hearts a sober, spiritual and sanctifying receptivity of His Word — abasing self, and exalting Christ! Our intention is to unfold and illustrate the Lord Jesus Christ in the relation in which He stands to His people — to unveil His glory, beauty, and fullness — to define the close bond of union that unites to Him all His people — and to bring you into a more personal realization of what Christ is to you, and of what you are to Christ." (Octavius Winslow) Our objective is to set before the Christian pilgrim some reflections which may prove challenging, consolatory and encouraging — as he journeys up from this bleak, arid, wilderness world, leaning on his Beloved. May God's blessing attend our humble effort to minister comfort to the downcast, strength to the weak, and courage to those who have set their faces towards their glorious eternal home.

HUMAN KIND? Now you can find out. HI Grade is the fifth check before every decision. For centuries, we've judged companies on four filters: cost, time, convenience, risk. HI Grade adds the missing one — verified human impact. WHAT IT MEASURES Every company is scored on five HUMAN dimensions: • H — Human Consciousness (creative agency vs. automation) • U — Understanding & Empathy (genuine care vs. simulated) • M — Moral & Ethical Conduct (principled action) • A — Alive & Environmental (true ecological cost) • N — Natural Transparency (honest disclosure) Each dimension breaks down into sub-signals. Scores range 0–100. 740+ companies scored so far, expanding every week. WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM HI Grade uses 42 free, public data sources — SEC filings, EPA enforcement, OSHA violations, CDP climate disclosure, Glassdoor, Fair Trade, B Corp, CFPB complaints, and many more. No paid data. No proprietary secrets. ZERO AI IN SCORING Every score is deterministic. Reconstructable. Auditable. We believe if you're measuring AI's impact on humans, you shouldn't use AI to do it. The methodology is open source (Apache 2.0) on GitHub. WHAT'S IN THE APP • Search: Look up any of 700+ scored companies • HUMAN 100: The top-ranked companies (Balanced Board + top constituents) • Watchlist: Track companies you care about • Full company detail: All 5 dimensions, 19 sub-signals, sources • Widget: Your top companies on the home screen • Siri: "Hey Siri, HI Grade Nike" for instant voice lookups • Shortcuts: Custom iOS shortcuts for power users • Phone Extension: Score apps as you open them WHAT'S COMING • Barcode scanner (scan products in-store) • Document scanner (know what you're signing) • Share cards (spread the balance) • Heartbeat decay alerts FREE.
