Yep, exactly right - the publishing mechanism is the anchor schedule.
Regarding incentives, this only works if the customer (or regulation) demands it - they’ll require the checkpoints as a condition of closing the deal - and is part of the bet.
A missed checkpoint is in and of itself visible, so if the vendor sits on records instead of publishing, the customer will notice the silence.
