A DCM application has to demonstrate an automated trade-surveillance capability — not describe an intention to build one. During designation, buy beats build: DataTap is the binary-market-native surveillance program you attach to the application and then actually operate, from day one of trading.
Core Principle 4 (prevention of market disruption), CP 5 (position limits with real aggregation), CP 12 (protection of market participants), and the 38.156/38.157 automated-surveillance and audit-trail rules. A retrofitted equities stack answers these generically. A binary-native program answers them in the market's own physics: settlement-profitability forensics against per-market baselines, $0.01–$0.99 bound and parity enforcement, operator-level aggregation via entity resolution, and catalyst-anchored insider detection.
The exhibit. A generated, regularly re-generated application-support pack: program description, control inventory with regulatory traceability, detection methodology, and — if you have any trading history — live findings from your own data. Hash-recorded, so what you file is what runs.
The program. The same tenant becomes production on designation: T+1 scans, case management on the 38.156 clock, maker-checker on every disposition and control change, WORM recordkeeping (1.31 posture), read-only scoped seats for the exam team when they ask.
The evidence habit. Every threshold change carries an attached backtest; every package is chain-hashed; regulator page views are themselves part of the record. Reviewers notice programs built like this.
