Market Trust

Experimental

Decide whether a market price is strong enough to cite.

Search the markets already in the rated set to see one of four answers, with the caveat and receipt attached: use it, use it with caveats, discount it, or do not cite it. Most rated prices land at discount or do not cite, and the honest reason is coverage: the average rated market has fewer than two of six evidence pillars measured, and the top tier requires four. That is a statement about how much we have measured, not a judgement about the venue.

Search covers the markets already rated in today's set. A market that is not in the rated set yet will not return a verdict.

Use0

Strong enough only with the current evidence trail attached.

Use with caveats0

Useful, but the caveats should travel with the number.

Discount0

A weak input for decisions until missing evidence improves.

Do not cite6

Too thin, stale, incoherent, or unresolved to rely on.

One scale, strongest warning on the right · 6 markets graded in the canary preview set

No market currently clears the evidence bar to cite. Most prices land at discount or do not cite because the top tier needs four of six evidence pillars measured and the average market has fewer than two. A market moves toward Use as we measure more of it, not only as the market improves.

Market Trust remains a preview until resolved-outcome history and the frozen validation contract are mature enough for v1.

2. Carry the caveat with the market price.

3. Open the receipt only when you need the technical proof.

Experimental rating caveat

Market Trust Cards are experimental market-quality diagnostics, not compliance certifications or validated credit ratings.

Market-quality scorecard

One plain-English status plus a pillar-by-pillar explanation of whether a market is currently usable, caveated, discounted, or too weak to rely on.

Visible caveats

v0.2 separates measured inputs from heuristics, so a buyer can see which parts of the rating are mature and which are still evidence collection.

Audit trail

Each card carries source artifacts and a row hash, linking the public card back to the reproducible Convexly research ledger.

Future stable-card shape

A stable card must answer the buyer's next question.

This is still a preview surface. A stable rating is not just a higher score. It is a card a user can cite in a memo because the verdict, evidence, limits, and next action are all visible together.

Verdict

Can I quote this probability?

Use, use with caveats, discount, or do not cite, with the exact methodology version attached.

Evidence

What supports the verdict?

Coherence, depth, participant quality, resolution reliability, integrity-risk screens, and source health.

Limits

What is missing or blocked?

Unknown flow share, stale snapshots, dropped events, data-rights gaps, and heuristic inputs travel with the score.

Next action

What should I do with it?

Cite with caveats, monitor for freshness, request a partner feed, or wait for resolved-outcome evidence.

Current canary

Current candidate cards with visible evidence boundaries.

These cards come from the current Market Trust candidate table. They are useful for internal review and buyer demos, but remain a preview until freshness, coverage, and outcome-history gates stay green over time.

Research preview status

What this preview can and cannot tell you yet.

The canary model should make a market legible to an advisor, journalist, venue operator, or institutional risk team: what supports the rating, what is still weak, and what has to resolve before Convexly can make stronger claims.

Current card issues

These are live card-health issues, not long-term validation requirements.

Not enough pillars on this card are measured yet. (5)Some pillars on this card are still gathering evidence. (5)

Before a stable rating

These are evidence requirements for public promotion. They can remain open while the internal canary batch is healthy.

14 consecutive clean source-health days have not yet been observed. (6)30 current cards across 3 market categories are not yet reached. (6)The scoring formula must be frozen before validation runs. (6)At least one resolved-outcome row is still needed in the validation ledger. (6)

Production readiness

What we're still proving before this is a stable rating.

Market Trust is usable as a preview diligence packet, not a stable public rating contract. The goal is a packet a buyer can cite because the verdict, caveat, source status, participant evidence, integrity screen, and validation limits are all visible together.

Current contract

Status: canary_preview. A formal internal validation review is required before this moves from preview to a stable public rating.

Resolved outcome ledger

Blocked

Convexly cannot claim Market Trust tiers predict cleaner or more useful markets until resolved card-time rows exist.

Now: The preview cards carry validation placeholders and promotion blockers; resolved-outcome evidence is still the hard gate.

Next: Write resolved card-time rows, show the denominator, and publish positive and negative result handling.

Review evidence

Formula freeze

Blocked

A buyer should know the score was frozen before validation, not tuned after outcomes were visible.

Now: The promotion contract exists, but the public formula and thresholds are not yet validated as frozen.

Next: Freeze weights, thresholds, caps, and sensitivity rules in code and link the receipt before any stable-rating language.

Review evidence

Source freshness

In progress

A current-card verdict must degrade when Polymarket or Kalshi inputs are stale, failing, or dropping events.

Now: Candidate cards already expose source health and freshness gates; sustained clean operation is still required.

Next: Maintain the clean-source window required by the promotion contract and keep card language downgraded during stale windows.

Review evidence

Participant-quality coverage

In progress

The rating should know whether meaningful market flow came from scored public participants or mostly unknown flow.

Now: Participant evidence is joined where public wallet-flow floors are met; coverage is not broad enough for a stable public rating.

Next: Raise scored-notional coverage, keep unknown-flow caveats visible, and separate aggregate-only venue limits.

Review evidence

Integrity-risk screen

In progress

Integrity language must stay a risk screen until reviewed positive and negative cohorts prove detector quality.

Now: The preview screen exposes concentration and pattern flags without turning them into intent claims.

Next: Label review cohorts, measure false positives and false negatives, then publish the screen limits.

Review evidence

Outcome calibration

Blocked

The four verdicts need observed calibration before Convexly can say one tier is empirically safer than another.

Now: The verdict framework is visible, but the resolved cohort needed for calibrated tier language is not mature.

Next: Compare use, use-with-caveats, discount, and do-not-cite cohorts against clean resolution and reviewer labels.

Review evidence

Stable public snapshot

The stable public snapshot remains available while the candidate model earns production history. Search is intentionally simple: market slug, question, category, or condition ID.

No public Market Trust Cards match that filter.

The stable public snapshot exposes a limited daily sample while Convexly collects the evidence needed for broader candidate-model validation.
