ForecastIndex

Editorial Policy

How ForecastIndex researches prediction market platforms, ranks pages, handles affiliate relationships, and updates risk-sensitive information.

Research standard

ForecastIndex pages are built from official platform documentation, official product pages, public terms, public fee schedules, and visible page-level checks. Search data may help prioritize what to research, but it is not treated as evidence for factual claims.

Ranking criteria

Pages prioritize eligibility, market coverage, fee clarity, liquidity context, funding method, resolution rules, source quality, and risk visibility.

Affiliate separation

Referral relationships can influence which calls to action are available, but they should not remove eligibility warnings, fee caveats, alternatives, or risk disclosures.

Testing status

Unless a page explicitly says otherwise, ForecastIndex has not completed a funded registration, deposit, trade, or withdrawal test for that platform.

AI assistance

Drafting and site generation may use AI assistance, but factual claims should be checked against visible sources before publication. Pages should not invent author credentials, tests, bonuses, or fee values.

Update policy

Fast-changing facts such as fees, availability, referral programs, and platform rules should be rechecked before major content refreshes. The visible modified date should reflect meaningful page changes, not cosmetic refreshes.

No advice

ForecastIndex does not publish personalized investment, legal, tax, betting, or trading advice. Platform pages are informational research pages, not outcome recommendations.

Corrections

When a material platform detail is outdated or incomplete, ForecastIndex should update the page, keep the correction narrow, and avoid rewriting unrelated editorial history.
