Feature checklist

Our column, filled in honestly

Shortlisting a trade platform means building a matrix: the standard feature list down the side, a column per vendor, ticks in the middle. Every vendor fills their own column in optimistically and you find out which ticks were real during implementation. Here is ours, including the 8 lines where the answer is no.
