What matters when choosing liquidity connectivity
Connectivity projects succeed when failure modes and operational ownership are designed before go-live.
Define the job
Are you connecting venues, normalizing sessions, applying routing policy, or all of the above? Ambiguous jobs produce ambiguous vendors.
Protocol and environment fit
Test and production sessions, credentials, and certification steps should be planned explicitly.
Operational signals
Desks and engineers need health visibility. Silent degradation is more expensive than loud failure.
Claims discipline
Reject latency and fill promises that cannot be evidenced in your environment. Buy operability you can govern.
