| ----------------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Capital Source**      | Internal firm capital  | Live LP accounts powered by trader data                     |
| **Fee Usage**           | Retained by firm       | Paid after passing                                          |
| **Risk Management**     | Firm absorbs risk      | Risk offset through LP algo models trained on trader's data |
| **Transparency**        | Centralized, opaque    | Data monetization performance is openly shared              |
| **Incentive Alignment** | Firm vs Trader         | **Pass-first model,** only successful traders pay           |
