Reporters engage producers, consumers and intermediaries to gather market data from a cross-section of credible sources.
- Transparent data hierarchy
Transactions take priority over bids and offers, ensuring assessments reflect the most reliable indicators of market value.
- Rigorous data verification
Reporters verify price, volume, specifications and counterparty for each transaction submitted to the assessment process.
