Frequently Asked

Why cover politics through prediction markets?

Political markets can react quickly to new information, but PMN still checks the market move against public reporting and context.

Do political prediction markets replace polling?

No. They are a different signal. PMN compares market movement with polls, timing, incentives, and event risk.
