How these indexes are built

Each index combines a few public components, weighted and shown on its page. Scores are rounded to whole numbers: a decimal would suggest a precision these measures do not have.

  • Public sources: polls, economic indicators, prediction markets (Polymarket). Each index page lists them.
  • Methods are public and versioned; any change of method is dated and explained.
  • Each index’s history is published in the open API; no score is revised after the fact without a correction notice.
