Scoreboard

- 10
- PendingAn item whose deadline has not passed. Counted, never scored. Method ›
- 22
- Known trueAn item whose event has already happened but whose deadline has not passed. Shown as 'known true, enters on <deadline>'; pending in every metric until then. Method ›
- 6
- VoidAn item that cannot be scored: the coders disagreed (AMBIGUOUS), the condition was unmet, or the source never published (UNRESOLVABLE). Counted, never scored. Method ›

More metrics
- Hit rateThe share of clusters where the person was on the right side of 0.50. Items at exactly 0.50 are left out. Reported with a Wilson interval. Method ›
- 30% (3 of 10)
- Dated viewThe headline panel restricted to items with a deadline in the person's own words. Shown beside the headline; it was the rules 1.0 headline. Method ›
- 1 of 7 · 5 events
- Undated panelItems with no deadline in the person's words, scored on a uniform 24-month window from the statement date. Part of the headline panel since rules 1.1.0; also shown on its own. Method ›
- 2 of 7 · 7 events · 24-month window
- Skill1 minus the person's Brier divided by a reference Brier on the same clusters. Positive beats the reference; 0 equals it. Method › against base ratesThe probability a published external study gives an event of that class and stage, fixed at intake. Halved when the item window is shorter than the class median time to decision. Never learned from the ledger's own items. Method ›
- needs 10 paired events · 3 now
- Market skillThe last public prediction-market price up to 7 days before the statement, on a question whose deadline is within one quarter of the item's. Used for the market row and market skill. Method ›
- needs 5 events with a market quote · 0 now
- Leave-one-out changeThe largest change in the mean Brier when one cluster is removed. A stability check next to the interval. Method ›
- 0.05
- Affiliated shareA flag on an item where a third party decides the event but the person has a disclosed role, stake, employment, board seat or trial site in an entity named in the event. Scored and flagged; the headline is shown with and without. Method ›
- 65%
- Headline without affiliated itemsThe headline metrics recomputed on clusters with no affiliated item. Shown only when both sides have enough clusters. Method ›
- needs 10 resolved events · 4 now
- Murphy decompositionThe mean Brier split into reliability (how far the words were from the truth), resolution (how much the words sorted outcomes) and uncertainty (how hard the events were): B = REL - RES + UNC. Method ›
- needs 30 resolved events · 10 now
- Scoreable share
- 9.8% (19 dated of 193 sincere)
