rationale: Placement in "Distribution" is appropriate since this concerns how economic

rationale: This maps reasonably to S1 (primary operations) as it represents a fundamental

operational requirement for the dealer to function, though it's more of a constraint

but has some natural placement.

This adds genuine insight into the mechanics of market operations.
