Resolution clarity

Resolution criteria explained for prediction markets

Resolution criteria define what counts as the final answer to a market. OddsAware highlights those rules because the exact wording can change how users should interpret the market question.

What this helps you understand

Each page is designed to clarify how OddsAware organizes public context around a market question, source record, and uncertainty profile.

What the market resolves on

See the exact wording and source references that determine the final outcome instead of relying only on the headline.

What wording can change

A single phrase about timing, source authority, or publication standard can materially change how a market should be interpreted.

What ambiguity remains

Surface where rules depend on interpretation, specific sources, or unresolved ambiguity that may still matter later.

How OddsAware approaches resolution criteria

The product treats market rules as a core research input because a market can appear simple while its official criteria remain more nuanced.

Read the market structure

Start with the market question and the exact criteria text that governs how the final result will be determined.

Organize public context

Place the criteria beside relevant market context so the user can compare the public narrative with the actual rule set.

Highlight uncertainty and source notes

Call out places where wording, source authority, or timing rules leave room for interpretation.

Why official wording matters

A market can look clear at first glance while the official resolution wording introduces important limits or source dependencies. That is why the criteria deserve their own dedicated review layer.

OddsAware surfaces the wording so users can compare the market headline with the rules that actually govern the final outcome.

How ambiguity changes interpretation

Questions about timing, source authority, publication standards, or ambiguous rule definitions can all change how a market should be interpreted.

The goal is not to resolve those ambiguities for the user. The goal is to make them easier to see and review before a user relies on the market framing.
