A price means little without its conditions: quantity, specification, channel and date. A pricing benchmark states a comparison basis first, then restates prices to it, and keeps what cannot be restated apart. This page describes that structure and how to read it; nothing on it is a real price or finding.
The benchmark works by narrowing. First the basis is written: the specification, quantity band and channel being compared. Then each collected price is tested for fit with that basis. Prices that fit are restated and shown as a range; prices that do not fit are listed apart with the reason. What you see is the distribution of comparable observations, and not a single figure presented as the market.
Public prices are asking prices. The report says so where it matters, and it does not present them as prices at which deals closed.
The specification, quantity band, channel and date of observation that all included prices share.
Each price with its source, date, what it covers and what it leaves out.
How each price was brought to the basis, shown step by step.
The spread of comparable observations, with unusual values flagged and caveated instead of removed.
Offers that differ in ways that cannot be reconciled, with the reason.
What the range can and cannot support, for the decision it was commissioned for.
Each is labelled by kind, because they answer different questions.
As shown on a page or price list, dated.
As shown on a marketplace listing, with the listing conditions noted.
As offered in a quote that you provide, marked client-provided.
If you buy at a different quantity or specification, the range shifts.
Note which end it sits at and what could explain the difference.
Offers that looked cheap or expensive but were not comparable are named there.
Research reports what can be established from public and provided sources. It is not a guarantee about a counterparty's future conduct and not legal advice.
No. It shows comparable public observations. Achievable prices depend on your situation and are not promised.
No. The basis states the term at which prices are compared. Shipping is a separate LATYNEX service.
Prices are asking prices read at the date of each observation, so the benchmark is a dated reading and not a live figure.
They are listed apart with the reason, not forced into the range.
