The canvas also helps test the dependencies behind that value: data quality, timeliness, resilience, compliance processes, technical expertise and relationships across the market ecosystem.

Buyer power matters where sophisticated institutional customers assess performance, coverage, terms and interoperability. Supplier questions can include dependence on specialized technology, skilled talent, networks, data inputs and resilient infrastructure.

Social expectations around transparent, fair and trusted markets can influence adoption and reputation.
