Network median
A benchmark computed from opted-in BudAlly tenants' realized prices (from state-system receipts), shown only with k ≥ 8 contributors and never including rows from Dutchie-connected stores.
Why it matters for price decisions: a store cannot tell from its own receipts whether a price is high or low for its market. A median drawn from realized prices at other opted-in stores gives a reference that is based on what customers actually paid, taken from state-system receipts, not on what a menu displays.
Example: a store sees its eighth-ounce price sitting well above the median for its category. That prompts a review of the price, but the figure only appears when at least eight contributors stand behind it, so no single store's pricing can be read back out of it.
