A benchmark is trusted because of how it is governed. This page distinguishes adopted design from operational implementation. Controls described as "designed to" are architectural commitments for the verified-reference launch, not claims that an independent committee is already operating.
Cavport's comparability architecture derives from the GLEAM V11.6 market-reference framework. The market-reference function is designed to operate under structural, data-access and decision-making separation from certification activities before participant-level market data are ingested.
Certification personnel are designed not to access participant-level pricing, and the market-reference function is designed not to influence certification decisions.
Participant-level submissions are designed to be processed by a restricted market-reference function. Security-sensitive operating details are not published.
Methodology is versioned. Material change follows documented governance and is not applied retroactively without restatement.
A controlling participant is recused from decisions affecting their own submissions.
An evidence hierarchy and manipulation controls govern what may enter a reference; integrity flags route to review rather than silent deletion.
Post-publication corrections follow a governed restatement path; original and corrected versions are preserved.
A route to raise methodological issues is provided through the corrections channel. A formal protected-reporting channel will be constituted before verified reference launch.
The Public Retail Monitor is operational. The Verified Reference, contributor ingestion, clean-team operations and any independent oversight committee are to be constituted before verified reference launch. No committee members are represented as appointed.
