METHODOLOGY

Predictions are extracted verbatim from published articles. Scoring is binary where possible (correct / incorrect), or marked partial when the core thesis was right but details differed. Confidence % reflects my stated or implied conviction at time of writing. Accuracy is calculated as (correct + 0.5 × partial) ÷ resolved.

No predictions are edited after the fact. Every wrong call stays on the record.
