What does it mean to create a public utility?
summary
SustainChain is a UN‑aligned platform run by the US Coalition on Sustainability (USES) that connects innovators, investors and organizations to accelerate the 17 SDGs. It deploys a DaVinci machine‑learning layer that uses click signals and inverse propensity weighting to reduce popularity bias while still surfacing high‑impact work. The team is building dynamic, project‑level metrics (no single SDG KPI fits all) and a trusted source modular governance model where module representatives sit on the governing body to detect harm and ensure accessibility.
