Why this read matters
The model-market gap currently survives the decision gates, but it is still research context and must be judged against the public track record.

Market-implied vs model probability
Factor attribution
The model estimates a 5-point higher probability than the market, primarily driven by historical base rate.
| FACTOR | SIGNAL | WEIGHT | LOG-ODDS ΔLog-odds contribution measures how much each factor shifted the model's probability estimate in log-odds space — the mathematically correct way to stack independent evidence. Formula: Δlog-odds = weight × signal. Positive values push the probability up; negative values push it down. Log-odds are converted back to probability via the logistic function at the end. | DIRECTION | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Historical base rate | 25% | — | −1.099 | Bearish | Historical frequency for this kind of event — the prior before any market-specific evidence. |
| Model probability | 5.0% | Prior: 25% · Market: 1.0% | |||
| Confidence (λ)Confidence λ (lambda) controls how much weight to give the model vs. the market. Formula: p_final = λ·p_model + (1−λ)·p_market. λ is derived from data quality, factor agreement, and liquidity. When inputs are weak, the model shrinks toward the market — not toward 50%. | 0.66 | Final: 5.0% = λ·model + (1−λ)·market | |||

Live open-market tracking
Since the first stored model read on 2026-01-06, the market has moved from 33.0% to 0.0%.
This is a directional diagnostic for unresolved markets, not final performance. Resolved outcomes still determine the official live record.
Data quality62/100 - usable
When features are unavailable, the model increases uncertainty and weights the final estimate closer to the market price. Lower data quality does not mean the market is wrong. It means the model is being appropriately humble.
