PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both Polymarket and Predict markets use identical resolution logic: third-largest company by market cap as of market close on August 31, 2026, with resolution based on consensus of credible reporting.Primary resolution logic: Consensus of credible financial reporting (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters, Yahoo Finance, major financial news outlets)

Core resolution logic:

  • Market capitalization will be calculated using the closing stock price on August 31, 2026, multiplied by the total number of outstanding shares for each company
  • Rankings will be determined by comparing total market capitalizations across all publicly traded companies globally
  • In case of a tie for the third position, the market for the company that ends higher in the ranking will resolve as YES, and all others as NO
  • If a company undergoes a corporate action (merger, acquisition, etc.) that significantly changes its share structure before August 31, the market cap will reflect the post-action value

Edge cases & clarifications:

  • Corporate Actions: If a company undergoes a merger or acquisition before August 31 that fundamentally changes its market cap, the resulting entity's market cap will be used for ranking purposes
  • Delisted Companies: If a company currently in the top 5 delists before August 31, its market cap will be considered zero for ranking purposes
  • Currency Conversion: All market caps will be converted to a common currency (likely USD) using the appropriate exchange rate as of August 31 market close
Timing: Resolution will occur after market close on August 31, 2026, once consensus reporting confirms the final market capitalizations and rankingsOur PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms.

The ranking will be determined by each company’s market capitalization at the close of trading on that day, compared across reliable financial data sources. No subjective judgment is involved — the highest three values decide the result, and the market settles automatically once official figures are published and confirmed.

Several signals could shift probabilities before Aug 31, 2026. Major earnings reports, surprise mergers, regulatory decisions, or macroeconomic shifts may reshape market caps quickly. News around leadership changes, product launches, or debt refinancings for the top contenders could also sway trader sentiment. Additionally, broad market volatility or currency fluctuations might alter valuations. Keep an eye on financial headlines and quarterly updates from the companies involved, as any significant surprise is likely to move this market materially as we near its resolution date.
