03 / Know what the number means

Keep the assumptions
with the answer.

A snapshot is an observation, not a forecast. Compare one underlying and expiry at a time. Use one consistent contract multiplier.

Observation times are not captured by this date-only schema. Verify timestamps, completeness and adjusted contracts against your original source.
