Every prediction stores its original wording, probability, target, source, and deadline before it can be scored.
Methodology
A clear prediction must be specific, time-bound, and recorded before its outcome.
Every prediction stores its original wording, probability, target, source, and deadline before it can be scored.
Forecast edits create another audit version. They do not erase the original record or rewrite the publication time.
A call earns a win when its defined outcome meets or exceeds the recorded target. Otherwise it receives a loss.
Brier score is calculated as (probability − outcome)². Lower is better. Forecast Score converts it to an intuitive higher-is-better percentage.
Member analysis simulates target hits, deadline prices, likely ranges, and drawdowns using recent market volatility and the time remaining.
The member risk snapshot runs 3,000 neutral-return price paths calibrated to recent daily returns. It uses Geometric Brownian Motion by default and switches to Jump Diffusion only when at least two unusually large moves appear in up to six months of history. The panel reports target-hit probability, expected deadline price, a 5th–95th percentile range, finishing probabilities, expected maximum drawdown, and a difficulty score equal to 100 minus the estimated hit probability.
Win rate is easy to understand, but it treats cautious and highly confident calls alike. Brier scoring rewards forecasters who are both correct and well calibrated, while strongly penalizing certainty that turns out to be wrong.
Older imported calls remain visible. If a legacy record lacks a genuine probability or deadline, it can appear in the ledger without receiving an invented confidence-aware score.
