PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both Polymarket and Predict use identical resolution sources (Associated Press, Fox News, NBC) and tiebreaker logic (official certification if sources disagree by July 31, 2027).Primary resolution logic: Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC (consensus required)

Core resolution logic:

  • Markets resolve to the candidate all three sources (AP, Fox, NBC) simultaneously declare the winner
  • If no consensus by July 31, 2027, resolution falls to official certification
  • 'Other' is the fallback outcome for unresolved elections past the deadline

Edge cases & clarifications:

  • Source Disagreement: If AP, Fox, and NBC cannot agree on a winner by July 31, 2027, the official certification from California's election authority will determine the outcome
  • Election Cancellation: If the 2026 California gubernatorial election is officially canceled or postponed beyond July 31, 2027, all markets resolve to 'Other'
Timing: Resolution occurs no later than July 31, 2027 — either via source consensus or official certificationOur PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms.
