What Kalshi criteria determine
Criteria language defines the formal logic used to determine settlement outcomes.
Interpretation should begin with criteria, not assumptions from market headlines.
Cutoff timing and update handling
Timing boundaries can determine whether data updates qualify for settlement evaluation.
Timing checks are especially important near final windows.
- Capture timestamp boundaries
- Verify timezone assumptions
- Check handling for revised or delayed releases
Ambiguity flags for criteria interpretation
Unclear clauses should be tagged as uncertainty rather than forced into deterministic summaries.
This preserves research quality and transparency.
