A forecast is useful only if its wording, evidence, odds and later result stay attached. This page states what the system can prove today, what it cannot, and how publication works.

Probabilities
One literal question, frozen before the event
Each percentage is attached to an exact YES/NO rule, date and public resolution source.
Changed wording or odds create a new immutable call; the superseded call remains visible as a void,
never an overwritten record.
Calibration
Predictive skill is not established
No registered call has reached a scored outcome. Brier performance and skill therefore remain
unknown. Coldtell will not claim forecasting skill before at least 30 independent event families
resolve.
Evidence
Origins count; citation volume does not
Sources are graded for authority, independence and incentive. Several articles repeating one
press release remain one origin. Every dossier exposes the recorded links, source notes, exact
claim and append-only revision history.
Review
Adversarial, but not externally peer reviewed
15 forecasts have an internal challenge panel covering the outside
view, a causal rival, measurement risk and residual risk. Independent external reviews completed:
0. The site never presents internal role simulation as human
peer review.
Dependence
Shared stories do not multiply confidence
Correlated forecasts are grouped into event families and thesis clusters. Ranking discounts
overlap, and calibration gives one shared event total weight one even when several checkpoints use
the same release.
Publication and privacy
Static, inspectable, and free of visitor profiling
Only the generated public directory is deployed. The site has no accounts, forms, cookies,
analytics, advertising or sponsored placements. External evidence opens without a referrer. This
is research commentary, not financial, investment or medical advice.
