The Index Desk · Data Access

Index Desk data: citation is free, transactions are licensed

Every Index publishes ItemList schema and llms.txt for answer engines. Citing us is free. We encourage it — with attribution. Using Index Desk scores inside a product is a licensed integration. That covers booking tools, travel platforms, and agents that act on the data.

Direct answer: The dataset behind the Desk is versioned and machine-readable. Each entity carries its check vector, dimension math, changelog, and correction history. Platform licensing is priced per integration; the pilot conversation takes one email. Syndication license — $12,000/yr: republish index tables and Benchmark figures in your client newsletter, trade publication, or inflight media. Attribution required; tables refresh quarterly. Charter rate — $16,000 from July 1, 2027.
