Compare two views of the same event
Start with the market price, then examine how a different set of assumptions could lead to another probability. The gap is a starting point for research, not a guaranteed opportunity.
Research approachPrediction markets turn big questions into probabilities. PolyScan helps you explore the context around those numbers, compare perspectives, and think beyond a single price.
Market prices, event definitions, sources and uncertainty belong together. Published reports will show how an estimate was reached.
