01We price the cost of acting, not the headline number
Every venue charges in a different place. A sportsbook buries its margin inside the quoted odds. A prediction market takes an execution fee on a curve that peaks near 50c. An exchange takes commission on winnings, so its quote looks cheaper than it is. Comparing headline prices across those three is meaningless. We model all three and compare the only number that matters: what $1 of payout costs.
02It is a recording, not a screen
Most comparison tools query a price when you look. We keep a continuous cross-venue recording, roughly a month deep, so we can say which venue moved first, how far apart two venues were at a specific minute, and whether a move was a slow drift or a snap.
03It writes, and it shuts up
The recording produces written analysis without a human in the loop. Just as importantly, it produces nothing when there is nothing to say — the quiet days in the dispatch archive are real, not gaps.
04The record includes the misses
Settled events are scored against the closing price and published whether they flatter us or not. When a market closed at 10% and the thing happened, the market was wrong — we do not forecast, we chart. The scorecard names the biggest miss in the set.
05We are not a venue
We take no position and hold no book, so we are free to send you to a rival's better price. When a prediction market undercuts every sportsbook on an outcome, that is what the board says — and when it does not, the board says that too.
