fewer counterparties.
3. An `hhi` above roughly `0.18` (DOJ 1,800) is the conventional
"concentrated market" threshold; above `0.25` (DOJ 2,500) is "highly
concentrated." These cutoffs are heuristics for orientation, not policy
limits.
3. For market-concentration context, the
[DOJ HHI explainer](https://www.justice.gov/atr/herfindahl-hirschman-index)
(updated January 17, 2024) cites the **2023 Merger Guidelines**: markets
with HHI above 1,800 points (`hhi > 0.18` on this report's fractional
scale) are considered highly concentrated. This merger-market heuristic
is for orientation only; it does not set portfolio counterparty limits.
For configured exposure limits and breach handling, see
[Limit Monitoring](limit_monitoring.md) and `config/limits.yml`.
