How it scored
Scores compare PBE and the market on the same designated snapshot — a lower Brier score or log loss is better. At the final pre-resolution checkpoint PBE's mean Brier score across 30 contracts was 0.037 against 0.043 for the market. One event is not evidence of skill in either direction.
| Checkpoint | Method | PBE | Market | n (PBE) | n (market) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First published | Brier | 0.043 | — | 30 | 0 |
| First published | Log loss | 0.151 | — | 30 | 0 |
| Final pre-resolution | Brier | 0.037 | 0.043 | 30 | 14 |
| Final pre-resolution | Log loss | 0.140 | 0.187 | 30 | 14 |
This event adds 30 resolved contracts to the model's live record (778 resolved in total). Live calibration is published once 30 have resolved.
