        CAT reporting for RFQs maps a multi-party negotiation, while for lit books it traces a single, linear order lifecycle.
        
        How Does the CAT Reporting Timeline Differ for RFQ versus Standard Order Life Cycles?
        
         
        
        
          
        
        
      
        
     
        
        CAT reporting for RFQs captures a pre-trade negotiation phase absent from the direct, linear event timeline of a standard order lifecycle.
        
        What Are the Primary Data Reconciliation Challenges under the Consolidated Audit Trail?
        
         
        
        
          
        
        
      
        
     
        
        The primary challenge of CAT reconciliation is enforcing absolute data integrity across a fragmented, high-velocity market ecosystem.
        
        What Distinguishes a Reportable Event from a Non-Reportable One in the CAT Framework for RFQs?
        
         
        
        
          
        
        
      
        
     
        
        The key distinction is actionability: a reportable RFQ event is a firm, electronically executable response, not the initial inquiry.
