Neutrality is the collateral

Conflict-of-interest policy

This monitor scores how prediction-market venues resolve their markets. Its only asset is that it is not paid by the parties it scores. The policy below is the standing commitment, and it is also enforced mechanically: every published and paid data field routes through a deny-by-default allowlist, and no venue, affiliate, or routing parameter can pass it.

Tier 1: venues whose resolutions we score

We take no money, ever, from any venue whose resolutions this monitor scores: not sponsorship, not a grant, not an affiliate or referral fee, not a routing or builder-code fee, not advertising, not data-licensing, not equity. No exceptions. Market links on this property are bare venue URLs with no referral parameters.

Tier 2: oracles and protocol DAOs

We may accept public governance grants from an oracle or protocol DAO whose integrity this work helps document, on strict conditions: the grant is proposed openly in the DAO's public forum, approved by a public vote, structured against disclosed milestones, and disclosed here by name and amount. Every such grant carries a publish-regardless clause: the numbers are published exactly as the data shows them whether or not they flatter the funder, and a grant is never contingent on a finding. A grant of this kind is disclosed in the changelog below.

Tier 3: neutral parties

We may accept a single, clearly labeled sponsorship slot from a neutral party that is neither a scored venue nor a routing product, once the property has an established publishing record. A sponsor buys a label and nothing else: it does not see data before publication, does not influence what is measured or how, and does not touch the methodology. Any such arrangement is disclosed here.

Non-custodial and independent

This is an information service. It never holds customer funds and never routes trades. It sells information about resolution integrity; it is not a venue, a fund, or a trading terminal.
