每个月各大投行会sumbit它们的price(比如Option volatility, expected div等)。然后Totem会搜集这些数据得到一个consensus price,然后把这个price, no. of contributors to the price, dispersion of the price 反馈给各大投行。如果某个银行提交的数据和其它银行相差很大, Totem不会反馈数据给该银行。这个银行如果想要关于这个Underlying的数据的话就要花钱,这就是一个punishment. 然后投行会重新value一下它们的position,如果得出的结果和原来的value有差别,那就要做adjustment .这个过程叫price testing.
