# DEI analytics tools

> DEI metrics + benchmarking + workflow for HR + ESG reporting.

**Sector**: [HR Tech](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/niche-down/hr-tech)  
**Build cost**: One-quarter build  
**Deal velocity**: Trickle — one deal per quarter

## Why now

EU CSRD + US state reporting + investor pressure = mandatory DEI metrics.

## What the signal looks like

Repos with HRIS adapters, anonymization libraries, and ESG-reporting frameworks.

## Public examples

*Public projects + categories only — we never name founders tracked inside the paid product.*

- Affirmity shape
- Syndio
- Open-source DEI-analytics libraries

## What this displaces

A quarterly Excel report + a guess.

## Our build-vs-invest call

Niche. Fund only with prior HR-analytics team. The moat is HRIS integration + reporting depth + benchmarking data.

## Frequently asked
