EN590, Jet A1, and the allocation nobody can verify
Built for desks trading refined products — where the offer arrives as a forwarded message claiming a refinery allocation, the price is a differential rather than a number, and the chain between you and the seller is four brokers long.

Who this is for
Brokers and offtakers in diesel, jet, gasoil, base oils and petrochemicals.
The allocation letter nobody can check
An offer lands claiming 40,000 MT of EN590 against a refinery allocation, at a discount to Platts, with an ICPO wanted before anything verifiable is shown. It is either real or it is the fourth copy of a parcel that does not exist, and telling the difference takes a week of calls.
The genuine ones then need retyping — into an email to the buyer, into a message to the trader, into the spreadsheet where the desk keeps track.
What changes
The tells, flagged as the offer arrives
An ICPO before anything verifiable, a bank comfort letter, a monthly volume larger than world production — Inco marks the patterns that make an offer worth a second look before you spend a week on it.
Differentials as prices
"Platts minus 18, improving to 20 on a full lift" is how the trade quotes, so that is what a brief carries — not a flat number that was never true.
One brief, every counterparty
Written once with the specification, terms and window laid out, and sent to the refineries and traders who actually lift that grade.
In your terms
The specification carries whatever the trade uses, not a fixed set of fields for one commodity.
What it costs
The free plan covers receiving and answering briefs. Publishing and distributing your own is the paid part.
Questions
- Does it stop me acting on a fake allocation?
- It cannot know whether an allocation is real. It flags the patterns that correlate with the ones that are not, shows you when the same cargo has come round before, and lets a genuine principal confirm the mandate in one click.
- Can I keep a brief off the public catalogue?
- Yes. A brief can be published but unlisted — reachable by the link you send and absent from your storefront — or gated behind a non-disclosure undertaking.
