  1. 01, settles Dec 10

    How hot is the next inflation print, month over month?

    Kalshi's middle sits at -0.04%. The model says +0.14%. The crowd leans cooler than the model. The crowd gives a print above the model's number 8%.

    LessonThe nowcast tracks prices every business day. When the crowd sits above it, the crowd is paying for a surprise that the data does not show yet.

    How many jobs will the next report show?

    The crowd's middle sits at +85,000 jobs. The last three reports averaged +137,000. The crowd expects a slowdown. No free model forecasts the jobs number, so the recent pace is the reference.

    LessonJobs reports move Bitcoin about twice as much as a normal hour. The market prices the number, then the revision changes it. Trade the rule, not the headline.

    What does the Fed do at its next meeting?

    Kalshi says raise 0.25 at 87%. Polymarket says the same at 89%. The two crowds agree. No free model prices the Fed, so the second crowd is the check.

    LessonWhen two crowds with different traders land within a point, the price is the market's best guess. The edge is in the data prints before the meeting, not on the day.

    Kalshi: raise 0.25

    How fast did the economy grow last quarter?

    The crowd's middle sits at 3.1%. The model says 3.5%. The crowd gives a print at or above the model's number 33%. The crowd discounts the model.

    LessonGDPNow misses by about a point early in a quarter and gets sharper as the data lands. A model is a reference, not an answer. The crowd knows that too.

    Does a US recession start soon?

    Kalshi says 2%. Polymarket says 2%. The yield curve formula says 17% within twelve months. The model looks a year out; the markets only to December.

    LessonThe yield curve has called most US recessions a year early, with false alarms. A market that settles in three months and a model that looks twelve months out are not the same bet.

How this tool works

How to read this

  1. 01

    Make your own call under each question. Put in your number, your chance or your price, and the page shows your gap to the crowd and to the model, and what a Yes or No at today's price pays if you are right.

  2. 02

    A model is a reference, not an answer. When the crowd sits far from it, one of them is about to be wrong, and the crowd has money on its side.

  3. 03

    Read the book, not the last trade. On a quiet ladder the last price can be hours old. This page uses the middle of bid and ask where both exist.

  4. 04

    Gaps close in one of two ways. The crowd moves to the model, or the data proves the crowd right. Which one happened last time is the lesson.

  5. 05

    The free references live in known places. The Cleveland Fed for inflation, the Atlanta Fed for growth, the New York Fed for the yield curve, and Deribit for coin prices.

Crowd: Kalshi and Polymarket public feeds, middle of bid and ask. Models: Cleveland Fed, Atlanta Fed via FRED, New York Fed formula on FRED's spread, Deribit mark volatility. Educational only. It describes; it never tells you what to do.

How the calculation works

  1. 01Gap = the crowd's price minus the model's probability, in points. Positive means the crowd pays more than the model implies.
  2. 02Model probabilities come from a nowcast, a market implied curve or a range read, named on each question.
