W.E.T. Score

How much signal is behind this number?

The W.E.T. Score grades the evidence, not the outcome. Five inputs — comparable volume evidence, news corroboration, cross-venue verification, market coverage, and track-record depth — scored against how much verifiable signal sits behind the headline probability.

Scored from the September 5, 2026 snapshot · 61/100 · Solid Signal

61Solid Signal
Deep liquidity$6.5M in comparable USD-reported volume. Big moverRepriced 84% → 89% since Sep 4 — the market moved hard on something.
ComponentPointsWhat the data says
Liquidity30/30$6.5M in comparable USD-reported volume. Log-scaled: $1k scores 0, while $1M+ maxes the component.
News corroboration0/20No wire headlines matched this event at snapshot time — the price stands alone.
Cross-venue verification8/20No canonical exact-match pair is available for this snapshot. Related listings are not compared, so this component remains at the documented neutral 8/20.
Market coverage15/1518 tracked markets on this event — more side markets and strikes mean more angles pricing the same story.
Track-record depth8/155 attributable days tied to one venue, favorite, and listing key. Legacy unkeyed points earn no depth credit.

The W.E.T. Score measures evidence quality — comparable volume, verified agreement, coverage, and corroboration behind a price. Venue-reported contract counts are never treated as dollars. It is not a prediction of the outcome, not a rating of whether the favorite wins, and not trading advice: a Thin Signal market can still resolve YES, and a Prime Signal market can still resolve NO. Full weighting and worked examples in the methodology.

How election markets like this resolve

Election markets resolve on the certified result. The displayed number is a venue-attributed market price — often ahead of, and sometimes at odds with, the polling average.

What could move it

New polls, candidate entries and exits, debate performances, fundraising, and primary and general results move these markets. Because real money is on the line, the price reprices quickly around these catalysts — which is what makes 89% a live estimate rather than a settled call.

Reading the number

A contract at 89¢ implies a 89% chance the market resolves YES: a dated venue observation of implied probability, not a forecast or a tip from W.E.T. The figure above is a snapshot as of Saturday, September 5; odds move continuously, so open Polymarket for the current line.
