Verification: Awaiting settlement verification

Deadline and settlement rules

Forecasts close at the deadline; submissions and revisions then stop. The system automatically checks official data at the release time and settles against verified first-publication data. Missing data or conflicting evidence keeps the result pending verification. Later revisions do not change scores.

Official evidence

The frozen Settlement Authority's first publication (A) is recorded with its configured authority-alternate or institutional-republication check (B1/B2). Missing or conflicting evidence follows the challenge's fail-closed policy.

Methodology & open data

Forecasts and stakes are submitted atomically and mapped to one frozen bin. All principal is returned; rewards come only from a fixed platform budget, expire after 30 days, and never affect scores or rankings. The consensus weights forecasts by same-target forecast history only.
