Data only is a real answer
Markets are not promoted simply to fill the board. The product is allowed to publish no directional view and is allowed to show an empty feed.
Product guardrails
Keep the research clear. Keep the limits impossible to miss.
These are product rules, not decorative settings. Model controls, provider credentials, and internal thresholds belong in an authenticated operator console. The customer experience exposes sourced observations, labeled inference, and understandable uncertainty—not a wager instruction.
We would rather publish nothing than publish something we cannot defend.
A busy screen is not proof of a working research product. Freshness, traceable evidence, and clear limits matter more than visual activity.
Non-negotiable rules
The boundaries of the public product.
These rules protect customers from stale information, false certainty, fake controls, and an interface that pressures them to act.
Active rule
Stale information disappears
A provider record loses public eligibility when its market price ages beyond the configured freshness window. Application uptime and research-data readiness are reported separately.
Every claim carries provenance
Market probability, price movement, liquidity, reporting, public discussion, matching confidence, source time, and evidence gaps remain visible and understandable.
Customers cannot manufacture model output
The public feed stays read-only. A customer cannot enter personal odds or an edge and have the interface present it as independently generated research.
No fake-live theatre
Agent counts, crawl logs, drift meters, and other operational signals cannot appear live unless they are connected to certified sources with honest timestamps and failure states.
Alert delivery stays off until it is trustworthy
Customers with active access can save durable, owner-scoped alert preferences against fresh provider markets. External delivery remains disabled until notification behavior and opt-out handling are certified end to end.
