Why KELLY can be stronger here
KELLY is designed to win by being scoreable: every forecast should connect to source evidence, causal assumptions, falsifiers, settlement, calibration, replay, and memory lineage.
why it mattersA forecast platform is only as good as its ability to be wrong in public, adjust from reality, and improve the next forecast without hiding the chain.
sector edgeShows transparent market decisions, uncertainty, falsifiers, and measured track record.
best claim boundaryKELLY should be called better only where its scorecards, calibration, replay receipts, and source coverage outperform alternatives. This page is built to make that measurable.

Professional layout pattern
The lab layout follows successful product patterns: fast first read, watchable objects, citations beside claims, source freshness, score history, and direct proof links.
patternMarket workstation pattern: symbol switching, watchlist, chart layers, and paper P&L need to be one glance away.
patternScreener pattern: rank assets by conditions, then inspect the chain for one symbol.
patternCitation-forward answer pattern: put sources and proof next to claims.
patternForecasting track-record pattern: keep probability, resolution rule, score, and history together.
patternWatchlist pattern: let users inspect a saved set without writing ground truth.
patternAlert/status pattern: show what changed, what is stale, and what KELLY is watching.
Research references
TradingViewCharts, alerts, screeners, replay, multi-chart layouts, and fast command/search patterns make market work feel immediate. MetaculusForecast questions need clear resolution rules, track records, scoring, calibration, and aggregation history. Windy / Windy.appWeather users need maps, layers, local points, alerts, history, model comparison, and fast location context. PerplexityAnswer users expect citations beside claims, follow-up context, and checkable source trails.
KELLY's specialized forecast method
Price history, macro pressure, event context, sentiment/noise separation, forecast cone, paper P&L, settlement, calibration.
1Approved source intake only
2Tag source, freshness, domain, and authority
3The Book of Why: ask what caused the change, what would have happened otherwise, and what evidence can falsify the causal story
4Thinking in Systems: map feedback loops, delays, stocks, flows, constraints, and downstream effects
5Thinking, Fast and Slow: separate fast pattern recognition from slower deliberate verification
6Superforecasting: start with base rates, update incrementally, keep probabilities explicit, and score the forecast later
7Thinking in Bets: treat every forecast as a wager against reality with a clear settlement rule
8Build causal pressure nodes and forecast cones
9Separate KELLY forecast from user forecast
10Track falsifiers, uncertainty, and competing explanations
11Close against reality
12Score calibration and error direction
13Apply continuous micro-adjustments after settlement to improve future accuracy
14Create replayable memory evidence when eligible
