Every molecule, every attribute, one method.
CertiMark is the governance methodology and seal for certified, capacity-compliant energy markets. We price molecules and the commitments they carry — methane intensity, renewable pathways, environmental attributes — under a non-discretionary 5/40/10 Data Governance Framework that is antitrust-defensible by code, not by policy.
A methodology, not a product.
CertiMark is platform-level intellectual property — the Data Governance Framework, the 5/40/10 rule, the split-architecture, the Safe Harbor Attestation, the audit trail. Indices that carry the CertiMark Verified seal are audit-native, antitrust-defensible, and regulator-aligned by construction.
One methodology. One audit standard. One procompetitive defense. Applied identically across every market where molecules and certified attributes trade together.
What the seal guarantees.
No partnerships with certifiers (MiQ, Project Canary, Equitable Origin). No equity in producers. No white-label arrangements. Legal surface separated from data subscribers.
Every published value traces to audited submissions — not surveys. The 5/40/10 circuit breaker enforces liquidity before publication. Full audit trail preserved for seven years.
Rules enforced by SQL, not by policy. Weekly historical cadence. DOJ-withdrawal-era procompetitive structure. Suppression protocol preserves transparency when liquidity falls.
FERC PL03-3-000 Five Standards methodology. EU Methane Regulation 2024/1787 compliance-ready by 2027. EPA Subpart W integration on the roadmap.
Every published value is reproducible from raw submissions. YAML scan definition + JSON result preserved per governance run. Methodology is versioned, published, and publicly auditable.
Any index bearing CertiMark Verified warrants all five pillars. Over time, the seal becomes the shorthand counsel and regulators recognize for "a price you can cite in a long-term contract."
Two sibling indices. More to follow.
CertiMark is purpose-built to price every market where certified, capacity-compliant energy products trade. Today, two indices under the seal. Tomorrow, more.

The 5 / 40 / 10 rule.
At least five distinct reporting Participants must contribute to any published cell.
No single Participant may account for more than 40% of the cell's volume.
At least ten independent transactions must be recorded per published value.
Enforced automatically by Soda Core. If any rule fails, the cell publishes as "insufficient data" — never silently dropped. The full YAML scan definition and JSON result are preserved in an immutable audit log, reproducible on demand for counsel or regulators.
Prices you can defend.
If you're a certified gas producer, an LNG offtaker with EU post-2028 exposure, or a compliance lead preparing for the next wave of methane regulation — CertiMark was built for the contracts you're about to sign.
