The Index Desk
The independent, cross-venue benchmark desk that turns prediction markets into named, ticker-coded standing indices — the VIX and Fear-and-Greed gauges for world events. Each publishes daily with a dated history, an audit of exactly which markets moved it, and a citable method. Free to quote with attribution — data, not advice.
