How it works

A step-by-step process ensures consistent application of the methodology every week.

1

Data Inputs

Terrestrial and satellite AIS feeds, established market references, and contributed market data are gathered as internal inputs only.

2

Validation & Controls

Inputs are validated and verified. Fixed-step drivers bound the impact of short-term disruptions and one-off events.

3

Index Calculation

Three core drivers are assessed against fixed rules to produce a consistent, stable weekly reference value.

4

Weekly Publication

Each update is published as a fixed snapshot. Published values are not revised; where a correction is required it is published as a separate entry, never as an overwrite.

Guiding principles

The foundation behind every weekly value.

Structural Reference

Built on market structure, not short-term noise.

Consistency First

Stability and continuity over reactive volatility.

Observable Drivers

Grounded in measurable, verifiable market signals.
