Methodology

How WhoNailedIt scores public calls.

WhoNailedIt tracks public macro predictions, keeps the source attached, and scores only calls that have enough evidence to evaluate. The goal is a useful accountability record, not investment advice.

How it works

From source to score.

The same workflow behind the public scoreboards, adapted here to show what counts, what waits, and what stays out of the denominator.

Source

Preserve the source

Public interviews and videos are monitored, queued, and preserved with the original source attached.

Extract

Pull out the calls

Specific predictions are timestamped and mapped to speakers, topics, assets, regions, and timeframes.

Verify

Check against reality

Resolved calls are checked against public evidence and market data when the outcome can be evaluated.

Score

Average the record

Final verdicts become points, then points are averaged across people, videos, topics, and themes.

Accuracy Formula

Accuracy is calculated as total scored points divided by the number of resolved predictions. Open, pending, queued, unverified, unverifiable, and verifier-error states are excluded.

Mostly Correct0.75The core call was right, with material caveats.
Partially Correct0.50The call was directionally or conditionally right, but incomplete.
Mostly Wrong0.00The call missed in the important ways.
Wrong0.00The forecast clearly did not happen.
