Free-text matching on what charities actually do, plus the financial signals we compute from each charity's own CRA filing.
Foundations mostly grant money to other charities, so we judge them on the share disbursed to qualified donees instead of program spending.

score = 0.42·impact + 0.33·need + 0.25·cost-efficiency. impact = Ci rating (0.5 demonstrated-impact + 0.5 results-grade), neutral where unrated; need = 1/(1+runway yrs); cost rewards the healthy 5–35% overhead band, graded within it (lower in-band overhead ranks higher; below 5% gets no extra credit).
