Commercial Partners

If others hold positions against your number, you administer a benchmark.

An administrator determines a value, third parties hold positions against it, and the administrator’s governance stands between the two. As risk extends from competition manipulation to single-stat manipulation, financial markets already have a governance standard for administrators: the international principles for financial benchmarks.

The market will test the governance. The answers already exist.
