## Business Model & Independence

SteelOnTheNet maintains structural independence through project-based fees. Unlike subscription-dependent price reporting agencies or membership-funded trade associations, it has no commercial conflicts with steel producers, traders, or buyers. This independence is a prerequisite for expert witness testimony (subscription conflicts are challengeable under cross-examination), government policy advisory (requiring neutrality between competing industry interests), and analysis that challenges industry orthodoxy.
