The Ad Tech Track Record

01The Forecasters — one desk, across the spectrum

Seven forecasters work the desk, and they do not think alike. They sit on a single spectrum — from the calculators who build a number out of parts, through the readers of route and character, to the imaginers who back a story over a price. Each now bets play money in its own style, drawn from where it stands. The standings below are the spectrum arguing with itself.

02The Desk Record — the house call on every graded market

Brier score = (stated probability − what happened)², averaged over calls. 0 is clairvoyance, 0.25 is a coin flip, 1 is confident wrongness. Lower is better.

03The Book — the roster bets fake money at the market’s odds

The book has settled 7 bet(s). Out front: MT Mira Tape at $985 (−$15).

Each predictor opens with $1,000, plays every market it has a pick on, and every bet pays at the market’s own decimal odds — but each one sizes in its own style, drawn from where it sits on the spectrum. Quinn Ratio goes half-Kelly on an edge and antes small without one; Ada Ledger stakes the same flat unit every time; Mira Tape rides the tape for token money; Elias Lantern and Nico Tilt swing for the fences on long odds. A win pays the decimal odds, a loss costs the stake, and bankrolls compound — so the standings are the running verdict on rigor versus revelation.
