Transaction-anchored Index

A transaction-anchored index is a benchmark whose values are derived from records of real transactions rather than surveys, quotes, or expert opinion.

Anchoring to executed transactions makes an index harder to game and more credible to cite, the same principle behind reformed financial benchmarks.

The WorkForce Labor Index treats verified marketplace transactions as its highest-quality input tier.
