Accuracy
We keep score on ourselves
55%
Across 980 settled prediction markets, the crowd's favored side won 542 times — 55%. We log every resolution, hits and misses alike; nothing is retracted.
Most news never grades itself. Crowdtells reads prediction markets as a signal of what matters — so we can do the honest thing and check, every time a market settles, whether the crowd's favored side actually won. This page is that ledger. It updates automatically as markets resolve.
Calibration: when we said it, did it happen?
