What CharterPulse knows — and where it comes from
CharterPulse separates four kinds of information because they should not be treated as equivalent: public market evidence, model assumptions, user-entered planning data and private market-check information.
1. Public market evidence
Route and market-guide pages may cite recognized public sources when a factual claim needs external support. A source is used to establish context — for example, that a route is commercially identifiable or that a published assessment uses a stated cargo or vessel basis.
2. CharterPulse planning assumptions
Estimator inputs such as bunker price, port time, port costs and vessel-class assumptions are planning variables. They can be changed by the user and should not be mistaken for independently verified live market facts.
3. User-entered voyage data
Origin, destination, cargo, quantity, laycan and selected assumptions are used to calculate and save the user's voyage requirement. These details may support the user's private voyage sheet or market-check workflow.
4. Private market information
Lead contact details, partner desk information, circulation content and market responses are operational data. They are not published into the public SEO/GEO intelligence layer.
Publishing standard
A new public route or intelligence page should add distinct commercial value, avoid implying modeled freight is live market data, and use an authoritative source when external factual claims are material. If the evidence is thin, CharterPulse should improve an existing page rather than manufacture another URL.
Freshness
Pages should only receive a new modified date when substantive information changes. Routine automation should not create false freshness simply by touching metadata or sitemap dates.
