Best Execution Tca
objective
Produce defensible best-execution analytics with benchmark attribution and governance reporting.
workflow
- •define benchmark hierarchy and mandate-specific evaluation criteria.
- •compute slippage attribution across spread, impact, timing, and fees.
- •compare venue and broker quality across order archetypes.
- •perform regime-segmented analysis for volatility and liquidity states.
- •publish governance reports with control evidence and exceptions.
required diagnostics
- •benchmark-relative cost by venue, broker, and order type.
- •participation and urgency effects on execution quality.
- •persistent outlier detection for broker or venue underperformance.
- •regime-conditioned cost drift and degradation analysis.
- •mandate compliance exceptions and remediation outcomes.
risk controls
- •enforce periodic best-execution committee review cadence.
- •enforce exception escalation for repeated underperformance.
- •enforce immutable audit logs for benchmark methodology changes.
outputs
- •run
python scripts/best_execution_tca_diagnostics.py input.csv --output diagnostics.jsonand keep the json artifact. - •write an implementation memo using
references/best-execution-tca-playbook.mdwith assumptions, tests, limits, and rollout plan.
resources
- •use
scripts/best_execution_tca_diagnostics.pyfor deterministic diagnostics. - •use
references/best-execution-tca-playbook.mdfor the domain checklist and delivery structure.
