Ask the engine

Ask anything about what we track. You get what we know, how we know it, and what new information would update the record at the next cycle — grounded in what's actually happening in the news right now. The first 25 answers are free on a key you mint yourself in one call — no card, for the life of the key (they don’t reset); plans lift the cap. For information only, not advice.

Answers are published at an unlisted public link so you can share them (recent ones may appear on this page; stale links expire to a fresh re-ask after ~36 hours). Don’t include personal or confidential information in your question. Privacy & deletion

WHEN THE QUESTION SUPPORTS IT, A READ CONTAINS
  • The state of play: what’s actually happening on your question, grounded in tracked coverage — never a hot take, and never a probability of ours.
  • The evidence: the live headlines, article text, and the desk’s own morning synthesis the read is grounded in, source-checked by a second model.
  • The market’s own price: when a prediction market’s terms actually match the question, its live price — quoted and attributed as the crowd’s number.
  • What would change this: the specific developments that would move the answer.

And when a question is outside what we track — or no market matches its exact terms — the engine says so and abstains from the missing piece rather than faking it.
