Research / Market-quality rating

Market Trust Card v0.1.

Prediction-market odds are becoming easier to quote than to diligence. The Market Trust Card is Convexly's first public market-level rating surface: a daily, source-linked reading of whether a specific market looks deep, coherent, reliable, and citable enough to deserve attention.

v0.1 is experimental. It is not investment advice, not a compliance certification, not a claim that a market will resolve correctly, and not yet a validated rating model. The point of v0.1 is to publish the artifact, caveats, and source trail before Convexly files a v0.2 backtest.

What it measures

The card turns the product thesis into a single market-level reading: odds are more useful when the market is coherent, liquid, capacity-aware, resolution-clean, and eventually supported by credible participant flow.

Coherence violations from the CME daily snapshot.

Liquidity and volume from the Gamma snapshot.

Orderbook depth and spread from published CLOB snapshots.

Capacity/slippage heuristics from depth and ladder data.

Participant-quality rollups from wallet activity snapshots.

Manipulation-risk flags as a conservative placeholder.

Resolution reliability from the CME resolution-risk inputs.

Claim discipline

The only public wording v0.1 allows is: experimental v0.1 market trust card, independent market-quality reading with visible caveats, and daily 24-hour public snapshot derived from source-linked Convexly artifacts. It does not permit certified, approved, validated, manipulation-free, or investment-advice language.

The next research step is to accumulate cards, file a v0.2 AsPredicted plan before analysis, and publish both the successes and the failures. Until then, the v0.1 surface is a transparent product artifact and a data-collection harness, not a finished ratings business.
