Explanation of terms

Preliminary Period:  Period intended for the demonstration of LPM data to clients.  It is for internal use only. During this time LPM overnights are released on a 7-day delay, LPM VIP reports are delayed 10 days, and permissible uses prevent use of LPM data for live business transactions or negotiations. During such period, the Meter Market/Diary data remains the only currency.

Transition Period:  Period during which both MM and LPM data can be used as live currency.

LPM Trend Data Begins:   Date from which data can be legally used for historical purposes, even though data may have been preliminary at the time.

LPM Data Live Date: Date when LPM data becomes legal currency. Depending on the DMA, Meter Market data may be concurrently used if there is a Transition Period.

LPM Only Start Date:  Date on which LPM becomes the sole currency of the marketplace.
