100%

Share of the testable cohort whose realized record cannot be separated from chance at our frozen, FDR-corrected bar. 0 of 35 testable wallets clear the bar; 15 of 50 had too few resolved positions to test. Of the 35, 19 read as not separable from chance, 15 are too concentrated to read as a clean edge, and 1 had a single positive interval that does not survive the correction. The 95 percent upper bound on the true clear-rate is about 9 percent (rule of three for 0 of 35).

Diagnostics on public on-chain records, not investment advice; a past read is not a forecast.

Most prediction-market trackers rank wallets by raw profit. Profit at these sample sizes does not separate skill from variance. The Luck Share is the one number that does the opposite: it takes our own published top-50 Polymarket cohort, ranked by a behavioral composite, and reports how much of it survives a real skill test. For each wallet with at least 30 resolved positions we compute the realized entry edge, whether entries resolved true more often than the price paid implied, with a bootstrap 95 percent interval and a concentration screen, then apply a false-discovery-rate correction across the cohort.

What "not separable from chance" means, precisely: the record does not clear the corrected bar at this sample size. It does NOT mean the wallet has no skill. At these resolved-position counts most records cannot distinguish skill from chance in either direction, and a profit screenshot tells you even less. That honest limit is the finding, and it is why we publish it as a recurring number rather than a leaderboard.

The method is frozen and version-controlled, and the per-wallet table behind this reading is public. Diagnostics on public on-chain records, not investment advice; a past read is not a forecast. The full scan, including every interval and the one uncorrected positive record, is at the top-50 skill scan. How the bar is defined: methodology. The tests we have run that came back null: negative results.
