Methodology

Read everything. Rank everyone. Price the question.

D is not a sentiment reader and not a chart. It is a pipeline from evidence to a probability, with every step scored against what actually happened.

The pipeline

Five stages, in order.

This one really is a sequence, so it is numbered. Nothing skips a stage.

01

Collect

6,000+ sources are read continuously and deduplicated. Every claim carries a date, a source and a first-appearance timestamp, so a story that is repeated eighty times still counts once.

02

Weigh

1,000+ named experts are scored on how their past calls resolved, by domain. An expert who is well calibrated on Fed policy carries no extra weight on Gulf shipping.

03

Price

Evidence and weighted judgment resolve into a single probability per question. That number is D's price, and it is published whether or not it differs from the market.

04

Qualify

A price becomes a Signal only when the gap to the venue clears the edge threshold and a dated, near-term reason exists for the market to close that gap.

05

Mark

The paper position is marked at the stated exit window, or at resolution if that comes first. The result enters the track record either way.

The loop

Every outcome is evidence about the method that produced it.
