What Polyruler does

We examine prediction-market prices as a record of collective expectations. Each article separates the contract language, the number on screen, and the outside context needed to interpret it.

What it does not do

Polyruler does not recommend trades or promise outcomes. A market price can be distorted by liquidity, contract wording, participant mix, or new information that arrives after publication.
