Build a contract calendar before interpreting commodity exposure
Track delivery, notice and trading dates separately from research observation dates and roll assumptions.
Separate futures notional, margin and research capital
Use explicit denominators when explaining futures exposure, variation margin and collateral returns.
Check commodity data rights at the dataset and output level
Distinguish government statistics, private contributions, exchange documentation and licensed market feeds.
Assemble a commodity dossier that preserves the question and evidence
Connect source definitions, dated inputs, calculations and limitations into a reproducible research note.
