The market title is not the complete rule
The headline makes a market easy to scan, but the resolution text controls settlement. Read the named source, qualifying event, deadline, time zone and any cancellation or revision clauses before treating the displayed outcome as straightforward.
Five details that commonly change the result
- Primary source: an official agency, league, oracle, exchange, publication or named data set.
- Cutoff: the exact date, time zone and measurement window.
- Definition: what counts as approval, launch, resignation, ceasefire, landfall or another event.
- Revisions: whether the first release or a later corrected result controls.
- Exceptions: postponements, cancellations, ties, abandoned events and unavailable data.
Category-specific examples
Sports: check whether overtime counts and how postponements or stat corrections are handled.
Crypto: use the named oracle and timestamp rather than a chart from another exchange.
Politics: distinguish media projections, concessions and certified official results.
Weather and economy: verify the station or agency, units, rounding and whether revisions count.
Use the score as a prompt, not an answer
