Where the number comes from
A price nobody can explain is worth nothing
Every figure on this platform traces back to a real observation submitted by somebody in the trade. None of it is scraped, modelled into existence, or filled in to make a chart look complete.
Submitted, not scraped
Farmers, abattoirs, traders, wholesalers and butcheries report what they actually paid and sold. Every plan can submit, including the cheapest one - the data is the point.
Outliers pull less, not none
One unusual figure does not move the consensus much, and it is not thrown away either. A repeated outlier in the same market is often the first sign a market is genuinely moving.
A gap stays a gap
Where there is no real observation, you see nothing rather than an estimate. A guessed price is worse than a missing one, because you cannot tell which one you are looking at.
Ref 03 / Scope
What you get
Built for a decision, not a dashboard
Live prices and full history
Current prices across the countries and products you follow, the platform's read on each, and the record as far back as it goes.
A brief, on your schedule
What moved in your markets, written for reading. Monthly on every plan; weekly and daily higher up.
Forecast reports and an AI analyst
Both capped per month and counted from your signup date, so the bill is knowable in advance and nobody is charged for a report they did not get.
Benchmark what you actually paid
Upload your own purchases and see them against the market consensus for the same product, country and week.
Market events
Disease, trade policy, currency and freight events against the markets they touch, with the source attached to each one.
The marketplace
On every plan, including the cheapest. Listings, offers and confirmed trades between organisations that can actually trade with each other.
Ref 04 / Access
The marketplace
You see your side of the chain, and nothing else
A butchery has no business reading a farmer's carcass offers, and a farmer does not need the retail shelf. Who can see whom is enforced in the database, not in the page.

Most businesses in this trade are more than one of these. A group that farms, slaughters and trades holds all three — how many you may hold at once is the only thing your plan decides, and it is a cap, never a requirement.
