Six vendors a DCM applicant will meet, on the questions an examiner asks. Everything stated about another vendor comes from that vendor's own press release, filing or product page (numbered sources below, reviewed 2026-10-03). not public means we found no public statement either way; unknown means we did not look far enough to say. Nothing here is an assessment of another vendor's weaknesses — ask them. DataTap's own cells are verifiable on this site.

The incumbents have the flagship venues. The long tail of applicants needs a surveillance program that is demonstrable during designation, priced for a pre-revenue exchange, and native to binary microstructure — settlement outliers, bound spoofing, pre-catalyst positioning, operator-level limits. That is the gap DataTap is built for; the methodology, the rate card and the recorded walkthrough are the evidence. Sports-integrity providers (Sportradar, Genius, IC360) and the NFA's regulatory services are complements we ingest or sit beside, not substitutes.
