Primary Source
A primary source is original information produced directly by the organization, person, authority or dataset relevant to the event being researched. Examples can include: official government releases, company filings, court documents, regulatory announcements, central bank statements, official election results, or original datasets.
Why it matters to you
Prediction markets can move quickly on headlines and interpretations. Checking the original source helps traders understand what was actually announced rather than relying entirely on someone else's summary.
