FIBONACCI STANDARDS · A PUBLISHED LIST
The Reference Price Series
In 1734, a coffee-house list of ship movements became the first fact in the shipping trade that anyone could check without asking a favour. This is that list, kept for orbit — dated, sourced, and entered whether or not the number is flattering to anyone, including us.

Awaiting first entry
The register opens the day the first observation is logged. It updates weekly, same day each week.
Notes on method
DraftCounted: observed transactions and public listings for the named asset class, dated to the day they were seen.
Excluded: confidential broker conversations without consent to publish, and anything not independently corroborated.
Frequency: weekly, same day each week.
Not: not an index, not a valuation, not advice, and not a guarantee the price is achievable again.
Historic backfill, 2020–2026
HISTORIC BACKFILL
Public record, six years back — read before you cite it.
The live ledger above only contains entries Fibonacci has personally logged and dated going forward — full credibility. What follows below is a compiled backfill of publicly reported contract values, government awards, and funding rounds pulled from press releases, filings, and trade press back to 2020 — sourced, but not independently observed by Fibonacci. Contract and grant values are often ceilings, not guaranteed spend; funding rounds are not prices for anything. Read the Notes column before citing any figure.
