Controls matched to the workflow and its evidence obligations.
Each engagement defines how source data is received, segregated, accessed, transformed, reviewed, retained, and released. Published controls reflect implemented technical measures and executed contractual terms.
How every engagement is held.
Engagement controls
The engagement specification identifies the workflow, source owners, required outputs, calculation boundaries, reviewers, approval authority, exceptions, retention terms, and system responsibilities. Architecture and calculation decisions remain documented within the scope agreed for the system.
Data handling
Controls stated for an engagement may include role-based access, environment segregation, encryption, retention schedules, source-file preservation, backup, recovery, and deletion procedures. Coverage is confirmed for the relevant implementation rather than claimed universally.
Lineage and reproducibility
Material calculated outputs retain links to the source records, mappings, transformations, rule or methodology versions, assumptions, and run records defined for the workflow. Document-derived statements retain source locations where the extraction process supports them.
Engineering change control
Mappings, rules, calculation logic, and releases use recorded versions and review states. The release practice for a given system is defined within its engagement.
Technology responsibilities
Markets IQ retains responsibility for the architecture, engineering scope, quality review, and client delivery defined in the engagement. Specialist engineering or infrastructure providers may support a client-approved scope.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality, retention, and deletion terms are set at engagement level and hold for the life of the system. The Privacy Notice governs information submitted through this site.

It does not provide M&A advisory, valuation opinions, fairness opinions, restructuring advisory, rating advisory, project finance advisory, corporate finance advisory, corporate governance advisory, market intelligence, due diligence, investment recommendations, or regulated financial advice. The firm builds engines and workflow systems. The institutions that use them and their appointed specialists own the judgments and opinions those systems support.
Markets IQ does not provide fund placement, capital introduction, investor solicitation, securities distribution, asset-management marketing, family-office access, or placement-agent services.
Markets IQ does not resell or redistribute third-party technology. It licenses systems it engineers.
