Architecture boundary
Define exactly which responsibilities sit in the bridge and which remain in the trading platform, aggregator or counterparty adapter.
Market-data path
Document feed sources, normalization, symbol mapping and stale-price behavior.
Order path
Map order creation through routing, external acknowledgement, fill handling and final platform state.
Multi-provider environments
If multiple providers are connected, define venue selection, failover and how execution differences are normalized.
Monitoring
Correlate platform and external identifiers, track session health and surface unmatched states quickly.
Operational controls
Protect routing configuration, credentials and high-impact settings with role-based permissions and audit trails.
Testing
Validate normal flow and degraded scenarios including disconnects, rejects, partial fills and recovery.
