    Why journalists use this

    Prediction markets are useful in reporting when they're framed honestly. That means understanding both the price and the market structure behind it.

    Not every quote is worth citing

    A 62% price means very different things in a deep market versus a sleepy one. We surface the context so you can tell the difference.

    Divergence is often the story

    When platforms disagree, that spread is worth investigating — different traders, different liquidity, or different contract wording.

    Deadline-friendly

    Find the right market, get a defensible price, and understand the cross-platform picture — in minutes, not hours.

    Multi-platform by default

    A newsroom that only checks one venue is going to miss pricing disagreements, structural quirks, and what the broader market actually believes.

    Before you cite a prediction-market price, build the citation card

    A market quote supports a time-stamped statement about what traders on that venue priced. Check liquidity, contract wording, resolution source, and audience availability before treating the price as evidence. Cross-platform agreement is stronger than a single-platform quote.

    Copy-safe language

    “At [time checked], [platform] traders priced [exact market question] at about [price]. Treat that as a market signal, not a forecast guarantee: check liquidity, contract wording, resolution source, and audience availability before citing it as evidence.”

    Required citation fields
    Market question

    Copy the exact market question or contract title. Similar event names are not enough.

    Official market rules or resolution text
    Official contract terms or rulebook
    Platform / venue

    Name the platform or underlying venue shown to the user. Use current official platform copy or the venue label shown on the market page.

    Official platform copy
    Price + timestamp

    Record the displayed probability or best available quote with the exact check time. Do not imply the price is live after publication.

    Official market page
    Timestamped market snapshot
    Liquidity context

    Capture volume, open interest, depth, or a clear 'not available' state. Thin markets are weaker evidence.

    Resolution rule / source

    Quote or link the rule source that determines settlement. Do not rely on the headline alone.

    Availability caveat

    Say whether the market is available to the audience you are writing for only when verified from current official platform copy or the market page itself.

    What the quote can support

    A market price can support 'traders on this venue priced X at Y at time Z.' It cannot alone prove the event is likely, legal, safe, or broadly available.

    What this quote cannot prove
    • Do not call a single platform quote 'the prediction market' without cross-platform context.
    • Do not imply a thin market is a reliable probability estimate.
    • Do not imply the quote stayed at the same level after the timestamp.
    • Do not say a market is available to US users unless that availability is verified from current official platform copy or the market page itself.
    • Do not cite competitor/affiliate pages as factual support in rendered page copy.

    Look for depth, spread, and thin-book caveats before you quote the price.

    How PredictionMarkets.US is different

    This isn't a trading terminal. It's reporting infrastructure.

    Cross-platform by default

    PredictionMarkets.US

    Shows Kalshi, Polymarket, and PredictIt side by side — with more platforms coming soon.

    Typical single-platform workflow

    Most journalism tools start from a single platform view and treat that quote as the market.

    Divergence as signal

    PredictionMarkets.US

    When prices separate, we treat that spread as something worth investigating and explaining — not smoothing over.

    Typical single-platform workflow

    Most tools hide disagreements instead of showing where consensus breaks down.

    Built for citation discipline

    PredictionMarkets.US

    Every workflow is designed around defendable reporting: what the question was, where the price came from, and why it moved.

    Typical single-platform workflow

    Most market pages are built for trading, not for publication-grade sourcing.

    FAQ

    Before you cite a price

    Three checks before quoting a prediction market:

    1. Liquid enough? A thin book can show wild numbers. Check depth.
    2. Do platforms agree? If Kalshi says 62% and Polymarket says 71%, that spread matters.
    3. Does the wording match your claim? "By June 30" and "by end of year" are not the same market.

    Miss any of those and you're citing a market more confidently than it deserves.
