Product inventory
Start with a controlled instrument catalogue and identify venue, pricing and execution requirements for each product family.
Normalization
Normalize identifiers, precision, sessions and contract attributes so downstream systems receive consistent data.
Connectivity segmentation
Different asset classes may require different counterparties or protocols. Keep those differences behind clear integration boundaries.
Routing and execution
Define product-specific routing behavior while maintaining common observability and reconciliation patterns.
Risk controls
Exposure and operational controls should understand product characteristics rather than apply one generic threshold to every instrument.
Reporting
Create consistent identifiers that allow execution, position and P&L data to be reconciled across systems.
Operational scale
Use reusable monitoring and incident procedures so adding products does not multiply operational complexity unnecessarily.
