Delivered while the office was still dark
Most sustainability teams monitor news the same way they did 10 years ago.
Someone scans Edie, BusinessGreen, and a dozen feeds for 5 hours a week, and still misses the things that matter.
A Slack channel fills up with forwarded links, and nobody has time to read them.
The quarterly sustainability report becomes a 3-day research dump, because no one's been tracking through the quarter.
The information you need exists.
The signal-to-noise is broken.

Proof & credibility
Real engineering. Real customer. Real team behind it.
Hi, I’m Stephen. I run Granite Marketing, an AI engineering studio. Over the last 6 months we built a vertical news intelligence system for a UK clean energy company (private at their request, but you’d recognise the name). It’s been quietly running their team’s daily sustainability monitoring, replacing about 8 hours of manual scanning per week.
Sightline is that system, productised — built for UK sustainability teams who need the same edge.
Every Sightline customer talks directly to me. I onboard you personally. I respond to feedback within 24 hours. I’m not VC-backed and I’m not pretending to be a 50-person company. What I am is a single engineer with a working system and a few months of customer feedback ahead of every alternative.
- Replaces ~8 hrs/wk of manual scanning
- Running live at a UK clean energy company
- Onboarded personally
- Feedback answered in 24h
FAQ
Common questions
Bloomberg is a £24k/year terminal designed for finance professionals reading raw filings. Sweep, Plan A, and Greenstone are carbon accounting platforms with intelligence as a small feature. Sightline is purpose-built for the intelligence problem — what to read, when, and why it matters to your specific business.
Generic news doesn't know your business. Sightline's classifier is calibrated on YOUR sources, YOUR competitors, YOUR regulators, and YOUR taste (via the eval step). The difference shows up by month 2 — you stop unsubscribing from the digest.
Yes — your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, on EU-hosted infrastructure. You own your data and can export or delete it at any time. We don't use it to train shared models. Full GDPR + ICO compliant.
Workspace stays for 30 days as read-only (in case you change your mind), then permanently deleted. No data hostage, no clawback emails.
Self-serve sign-up isn’t live yet — but you don’t need a sales call to see what Sightline produces. Email Stephen with the subject “sample briefs” and we’ll send you a sample feed plus example weekly, monthly, and quarterly briefs, so you can see the shape of what would land in your inbox. Every early customer still gets a hands-on onboarding when they’re ready — a 20-min walkthrough with Stephen, or a recorded demo once those are up. The goal isn’t to gatekeep, it’s to make sure the eval is tuned to your business before the digests start.
Stephen Anindo, founder of Granite Marketing. Solo founder, UK-based, building production AI/automation systems for clients for several years. Sightline is my first product company.
Next quarter: a live dashboard for browsing historical briefs, automated monthly recalibration of your eval, and native Slack + Teams apps. Later this year: digest engagement analytics, white-label branded emails, and multi-recipient permission tiers (admin / curator / viewer). North Star is to be what Bloomberg Terminal is to finance, but for sustainability — the canonical morning read for sustainability leaders.
