How this site works

Essays

Each essay opens with a one-sentence thesis, builds it from linked sources and our own data, gives the strongest argument against it, and ends with what would change our mind. Opinions are ours and labeled as such; the facts under them are sourced.

Liquidity data

The liquidity page takes the 300 open Polymarket events with the most order-book liquidity and keeps every open contract inside them. Liquidity is Polymarket's own figure for resting depth. Spread is best ask minus best bid on the YES side. Daily turnover is 24-hour volume divided by liquidity. Categories come from Polymarket's event tags.
