Scopes

The scorekeeperfor prediction markets

Everyone quotes the odds.
We keep score.

Scopes is the independent reference layer for probabilistic information—preserving historical market prices, comparing venues, measuring independent estimates, and tracking performance against outcomes.

Across 591 resolved divergences, the market was right 55.5% of the time, the Scopes Fair Value the other 44.5%.

The Scopes Fair Value is our independent estimate of the odds; a divergence is where it parts from the market price.
