Features

From advanced mechanisms like prediction markets, to simply gathering probabilities, we support a complete lifecycle of asking questions, collecting forecasts, scoring those forecasts, and generating insights. Want your people using a mobile app, or need an API? We have that too.

Use our robust management and workflow tools for publishing forecast questions yourself, or crowdsource them to your forecasters.

Question management
  • Ask an unlimited number of questions
  • Multiple question formats supported (e.g., yes/no, multiple answer, open)
  • Background field supports text, links, and other media
  • Full self-admin controls for question creation
  • Categorize questions by topics and tags
  • Set future question publish dates to make sure there are always new questions coming
Crowdsource questions
  • Ask participants to submit question candidates
  • Workflow to allow collaborative editing and commenting
  • Administrative editing, approval, and rejection

How predictions are submitted

Monitor the consensus forecast, then measure accuracy, bias, and other metrics when the answer is known.

Consensus trends

Pick one of several methods to calculate the consensus prediction (mean, median, etc.) and watch it change over time as people react to new information, rumor, or change in opinion.

Leaderboards

We keep track of everyone's performance overall, by topic, and by question. Participants can even follow others to create their own custom leaderboards. Leaderboards focus on accuracy, and if running a prediction market, also show overall currency balances.

Notifications

When predictions are measured, notifications are sent to all participants letting them know how they did.

Example of an accuracy leaderboard

Access data via our REST API or open-standard (.csv) reports to easily create real-time executive dashboards and summaries for decision makers.

Accuracy analysis

Each individual can review how they earned their accuracy points and see how each new prediction they made helped - or hurt - the accuracy of their prediction in comparison to the median score, and the most accurate.

Reporting

Pull down data files about individual and consensus predictions, prediction accuracy, participation levels, commentary, and other activity.

Executive summaries

View pre-packaged results overview in pdf format about each question.

Integration

Use our Rest API (documentation) to easily extract data to other dashboard and analysis platforms.
