A benchmark is only as good as what feeds it.
Behind every benchmark sits a living data layer: verified outcomes, published price lists tracked over time, and a citable index you can quote in a board paper. Where a published curve document covers your line, the sheet reads it and says so. Where none does, the curve is measured from that line's own peer cohort and the sheet says that instead, so you always know which of the two you are reading. The deeper reading, every chapter behind the number, stays one click away on the advanced view.

OUTCOME NETWORK
Give to get verified data
Contributed datapoints graded by analysts feed a verified layer on top of the community pool. Salted keys and a k=5 floor keep every contribution anonymous, and the metric is realized uplift, not headline discount.
SOFTWARE PRICE INDEX
A number you can cite
A quarterly, citable index of software pricing, published as versioned snapshots with a public and keyed API. Reference a fixed figure in a board paper without it shifting under you.
TERMS WATCH
Price lists, watched
Vendor published price lists are diffed on every refresh and priced at your own seat count, so you see a list-price move the day it lands. Exposure aggregates across your stack.
