[ARCHIVE] Data Latency interpretation

Question

In terms of Data Latency, the following statement is available - "the requirement for data latency is that data presented via API end points should be commensurate to data presented via other primary digital channels"

How could we interpret 'commensurate'? - at the same time as, or within seconds/minutes of other channels?

Answer

The word "commensurate" is deliberately ambiguous so as to leave the interpretation to the Data Holders.

In general, if an Accredited Data Recipient or Customer notices discrepancies and complains then it is likely the implementation isn't commensurate.
