Reference Rate

A reference rate is a published benchmark price that market participants cite as a neutral basis for contracts, comparisons, and valuation.

Reference rates such as SOFR work because they are transaction-anchored, governed, and transparent — properties that let unrelated parties trust the same number.

The WorkForce Labor Index is built to be the reference rate for AI labor, cited by buyers, sellers, researchers, and lenders.
