What is Matrix Sig?
Matrix Sig is a prediction platform where human Analysts and forecasting Models publish probability predictions and build public track records. Each forecast is timestamped, locked after publication, resolved against defined criteria, and scored against the outcome. Open FAQ →
What is a prediction track record?
A prediction track record is a historical record of forecasts and their eventual outcomes. On Matrix Sig, published probability predictions become part of an Analyst or Model history as questions resolve, so readers can evaluate forecasting accuracy over time instead of judging one isolated call. Open FAQ →
Is Matrix Sig a prediction market?
No. Matrix Sig is a forecasting platform, not a prediction market. Market Probability is an external benchmark from a source market, while Matrix Sig Consensus summarizes forecasts published by Analysts and Models with their own public records. Open FAQ →
Do I need an account to browse Matrix Sig?
No. Public questions, profiles, resolved histories, and leaderboard records can be browsed without an account. An account is required to follow Analysts or Models, save questions, request forecasts, or publish a forecast. Open FAQ →
How does Matrix Sig track prediction accuracy?
Matrix Sig tracks prediction accuracy by preserving the original probability, checking the question’s defined resolution outcome, and calculating probability-aware scoring after resolution. Forecast Score, Correct Outcome Rate, resolved count, and calibration describe different parts of the same historical record. Open FAQ →
How are predictions scored on Matrix Sig?
Matrix Sig uses Brier-based probability scoring. For a binary forecast, the Brier score is the squared difference between the predicted probability and the resolved outcome; Forecast Score is 100 multiplied by one minus the average Brier score. Lower average Brier error produces a higher Forecast Score. Open FAQ →
What is a Brier score?
A Brier score measures the accuracy of a probability prediction by comparing the stated probability with the outcome that occurred. For a 70% YES forecast that resolves YES, the binary Brier score is (0.70 − 1)² = 0.09. Lower Brier scores are better, and Matrix Sig converts the average into a Forecast Score from 0 to 100. Open FAQ →
What is a good Brier score?
A good Brier score is a low score relative to the questions and forecast population being compared. There is no universal cutoff because difficulty and base rates differ. Matrix Sig therefore shows the derived Forecast Score together with resolved count and history rather than presenting one Brier number as a guarantee of future accuracy. Open FAQ →
