Evidence surface
Compute Benchmark Ledger
A public separation between observed manufacturer references, an Active Qualified Competitive Floor, governed Market-Equivalent Value, and a completed Capability Dividend claim.
No Active QCF or MEV published
An observation can be sourced and still remain ineligible. Active QCF requires an ordinary, currently orderable official reference that clears repeated observation, persistence, equivalence, and conditional-price screening. MEV Verified requires the governed comparator basket, normalization, uncertainty, and review packet.
QCF durability path
Observed
01Official source captured. It does not govern price.
Watch
02A candidate is being reconfirmed for availability, equivalence, and persistence.
Active QCF
03The current qualified floor that may govern an offer and conservative comparison.
A materially lower new listing enters Watch before it can replace the governing floor. The verification interval and materiality threshold remain methodology parameters to be approved before launch.
| Observation | Configuration | Official price | Availability | Captured | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NVIDIA DGX SparkNVIDIA Marketplace | GB10 · 128GB · 4TB | $4,699 | Out of stock at capture | Aug 26, 2026 | Observed |
The observed DGX Spark price is not an Active QCF because the official listing was out of stock at capture and has not cleared the durability path. One observation also cannot satisfy the provisional MEV basket and weighting rules.
MEV Verified
The broader multi-comparator analysis has cleared its evidence controls.
Claim Packet Current
The associated product-specific public claim is inside its approved evidence window.
Expired
The prior record can no longer govern a new offer or current claim.
Equivalent
Same customer class, workload feasibility, memory, storage, networking, software, and support.
Orderable
Available in the measured geography during the documented observation window.
Reproducible
Every source, adjustment, weight, exception, reviewer, and timestamp is retained.
