# Akinda

> Shariah compliance screening for public equities and ETFs, as a developer API.
> Every security is screened under five methodologies — AAOIFI as primary, plus the
> Dow Jones, FTSE, MSCI and S&P Islamic index rulebooks — and the verdicts are
> expected to disagree, because the standards do.

## Reading our verdicts correctly

- A verdict belongs to a methodology, never to Akinda in general. The five
  disagree by design. They CAN be combined, and we do combine them - but only
  with the rule named, because two different rules both read as "any": the
  stock side's any-of-five counts AAOIFI halal OR doubtful and the four index
  books halal only, while the fund side is symmetric. Never report a combined
  answer without saying which rule produced it.
- A fund's own status is a portfolio-weight test derived from AAOIFI, not the
  AAOIFI verdict for the fund. A constituent's status IS AAOIFI's.
- Coverage belongs to the FUND SCREEN and to nothing else. It says how much of
  the basket we can see, it is load-bearing, and it must be quoted with the
  fund-screen verdict. The four index rulebooks publish NO coverage figure -
  it is null for them by construction - so quoting a coverage number beside a
  DJIM, FTSE, MSCI or S&P verdict attributes it to a rulebook that never
  produced it.
- A security absent from our coverage answers 404. That is not a verdict, and
  it is not a judgement about the security.
