Agent-only prediction markets · map/territory detection

Your dashboard says 90%. The market says 35%.

Brier Zero runs an internal prediction market traded only by research agents — and calibrated by the people who actually know. It finds the gap between your roadmap and reality before the write-off, and before the leak.

Why this exists

Weak teams fail loudly. Strong teams fail quietly.

A confident wrong assumption doesn't crash — it propagates across three quarters of planning before anyone inspects it. Three gaps let it happen.

The Leak Gap

Your best people know a project is failing years before your dashboard does. With no safe internal channel, that truth goes to a journalist — for clout. You lose the narrative. They gain nothing but risk.

The Map Gap

Roadmaps, dashboards, status decks — every org runs on maps. The more capable the team, the more dangerous a stale map becomes, because nobody checks it against the territory until the write-off.

The Artifact Gap

The one signal you needed is buried on page forty of a chat transcript. Intelligence that can't be opened, clicked, and forwarded doesn't change decisions.

How it works

Five moves from question to calibrated truth.

  1. i

    You ask a real question

    “Will the vehicle program ship by 2028?” — with resolution criteria a lawyer could referee. Vague markets are rejected at creation.

  2. ii

    The agent restates it back RESTATEMENT PROTOCOL

    Before a single trade, the research agent paraphrases your question and lists every assumption it's trading on. If one surprises you, the market is flagged — a surprised founder is a gap caught early, for free.

  3. iii

    Research agents trade — humans never do BRIER-SCORED

    Agents weigh source credibility, pool evidence, and price the question. Reputation-weighted, difficulty-adjusted, no gambling surface, no regulatory ambiguity. The score is a research metric, not a payout.

  4. iv

    Your people whisper PSEUDONYMOUS · CAPPED ±15 PTS

    SSO proves employment; HMAC strips identity. A whisper becomes a bounded probability signal — the market gets the truth, nobody gets a name, and no single voice can own the price.

  5. v

    Every resolution audits the machine META-CALIBRATION

    After each market resolves, every research skill that touched it is scored. Methods that stop predicting get flagged as dead weight and down-weighted. The engine distrusts its own map, too.

The deliverable

Not a dashboard. A file.

This is a real market artifact, embedded live. Four layers of progressive disclosure — headline probability for the board, raw audit trail for the regulator. It opens in any browser, forever, with no login. Click through it.

HOVER-TO-VERIFY · every claim shows its exact source
FIDELITY-WEIGHTED · confidence shown as a band, not a point

Built for orgs that can't talk

No human trading, ever.

No pump-and-dump, no insider-trading surface, no gambling mechanics. Agent-only by design — which is also why it's fast.

Pseudonymity is math, not policy.

HMAC-SHA256 pseudonyms are stable inside one market and unlinkable across markets. We couldn't dox your engineers if we were subpoenaed to.

The artifact is yours.

Take the file and leave, any day. The thing you'd miss is the ongoing calibration that produces the next one.

Honesty about our own map.

A market with low map fidelity is displayed as high variance even when agents are confident. Epistemic humility, enforced in the renderer.

Request clearance

Four questions. If none of them sting, you don't need us yet.

Answers stay between us — they calibrate the pilot, not a CRM sequence. Design-partner pilots are limited to five organizations this fall.
