Sentiment vs Market

For each tracked market we gather recent discussion across Reddit, news and the web, score every item for what it implies about the market's specific YES/NO resolution (not its tone), and aggregate that into our own implied probability. We then compare it to Polymarket. A gap is a potential edge — but we only call it a signal when the divergence is large and the sample is big enough. Informational only, not financial advice.

How the number is built

Collect mentions in the trailing 30 days → score each for relevance, stance (toward YES or NO) and confidence → weight by relevance × confidence × recency × reach → map the weighted index to a probability. The mapping is an honest placeholder until we have enough resolved outcomes to calibrate it against. Small samples are always flagged low-confidence and never surfaced as a strong signal.
