# Market Update Impact Check

Use this worksheet when a dated freight or trade update might affect an order. Keep the published observation, your interpretation and the provider's order-specific confirmation in separate fields.

## Source and scope

Source title and URL: __________

Publication date: __________  Date of reported conditions, if known: __________

Country, port, terminal or named service: __________

Direction and cargo scope, if stated: __________

## Blank impact record

| Reported observation and attribution | Relevant order or stage | Why it may apply | Current confirmation needed | Responsible contact | Review date |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | | | |

## Separate the evidence

- **Reported observation:** Write a short attributed summary. Distinguish an operator's statement, a customer account and an aggregate measure.
- **Relevance:** Check whether your order uses the affected route or stage. Record a mismatch in location, direction or date.
- **Interpretation:** Explain the possible path to your order. Mark a hypothesis as something to check.
- **Confirmation:** Request current information for the named service, booking or handover. A publication date alone does not confirm the state of your cargo.
- **Action trigger:** Write the evidence that would justify changing the plan, then assign a review date.
