Editorial Independence Policy

At Prediction Buzz, our primary asset is the trust of our readers. The global prediction market and event contract ecosystem moves rapidly, driven by real-time capital allocation and shifting probabilities. In an environment where accurate data directly impacts trading decisions, maintaining absolute editorial independence is paramount.

This policy outlines the strict structural boundaries we enforce to ensure our reviews, analyses, market commentaries, and data interpretations remain completely unbiased, objective, and independent of external commercial influence.

1. Separation of Content and Monetisation

Prediction Buzz operates a hybrid monetization model utilizing affiliate and referral partnerships [health, civics]. However, we maintain a strict, unbreakable wall between our commercial operations and our editorial content creation:

• No Pay-for-Play: We never accept payment, compensation, or tokens from prediction platforms or exchanges in exchange for publishing a positive review, inflating an evaluation score, or suppressing negative findings.
• Independent Content Generation: Our editorial calendar, breaking news coverage, and market narrative breakdowns are determined solely by market relevance, data anomalies, and reader utility. Commercial partners have zero input into what topics we cover or how we analyze them.
• Unbiased Analytical Scoring: Platform ratings, feature breakdowns, and pros-and-cons matrices are derived exclusively through our objective, standardized Review Methodology. A platform’s affiliate status with us has no bearing on its ultimate performance rating.

2. Fact-Based, Data-Driven Reporting

Our analysis relies on empirical market metrics, not speculative hype or corporate press releases. We commit to the following reporting standards:

• Primary Source Verification: When evaluating contract updates, volume anomalies, or resolution disputes, we pull data directly from official exchange order books, CFTC clearing sheets, blockchain ledger indexers, or verified primary settlement oracles.
• Contextualizing Odds vs. Reality: Prediction market contract prices represent the implied probability of a crowd-sourced pool of capital—they are not absolute facts. Our editorial goal is to explain the underlying market mechanics, liquidity depth, and whale positioning that drive these prices, rather than presenting contract lines as definitive outcomes.
• Continuous Correction: If a fee matrix alters, a regulatory parameter shifts, or an error is identified in our published data, we update the content immediately. We display a prominent “Last Updated” timestamp on all core reviews to reflect continuous editorial maintenance.

3. Conflicts of Interest & Individual Trading Rules

Because our sole analyst and founder, Chin Ho, is an active market participant with real-world experience, conflicts of interest can naturally arise [health, civics]. To mitigate this risk, we enforce internal operational guidelines:

• Transparency of Positions: If Chin Ho covers a specific high-volatility event contract in depth (such as a major macroeconomic decision or geopolitical vote) and holds an active financial position in that market, that status must be transparently disclosed within the article.
• No Market Manipulation: Content must never be designed to artificially distort order book liquidity or manipulate low-volume contract pricing for personal financial gain.

4. Zero Editorial Influence from Platforms

We do not allow reviewed platforms, decentralized protocol founders, or fiat exchange corporate teams to influence our narrative:

• They cannot preview articles or review drafts prior to publication.
• They cannot demand the removal of factually accurate negative coverage, fee updates, or liquidity criticisms.
• They cannot influence the comparison logic used in our head-to-head platform showdowns.

We welcome feedback, data corrections, and scrutiny from our audience. If you believe a piece of content on our site has fallen short of these independent standards, or if you require clarification on our reporting methods, please contact our editorial desk directly at editorial@predictionbuzz.com
