What makes a Reef Bench dataset useful

01

Dated

Every observation carries a check date. A price without a date is not evidence.

02

Comparable

Ranges and bundle differences stay visible rather than being forced into a false single number.

03

Reproducible

The report explains its sample and calculation method so readers can challenge or repeat it.
