How to use this page
Read the extract first, then the application and limits sections, and only then decide whether the thesis is strong enough for action or only for context.
Extractable overview
Citations are conditional. They appear only when a market category maps into a monitored news bucket and the cache contains fresh RSS items.
Platform links are separate. Polymarket and Preddy URLs are navigation targets, not proof of a thesis.
No fabrication rule: if there is no mapped fresh source, EdgeVisor should show no citation rather than invent one.
When citations appear
The research summary layer checks a fixed mapping from market categories to monitored news categories. If the market category qualifies and the news monitor has recent RSS items in cache, those items can become citations.
That means a market can be well analyzed and still have zero citations. No citation can simply mean the market did not match a monitored news bucket or there was no fresh item in the configured time window.
| Element | What it is | What the user may infer |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence citation | Fresh monitored source item attached to the research summary | The product had an external context object it could point to |
| Market link | Direct navigation to Polymarket or another market surface | You can inspect or execute on the market, but the link itself is not evidence |
| Partner link | Comparison or routing link such as Preddy | Useful for comparison and workflow, not as proof of the thesis |
Market and partner links
EdgeVisor also surfaces direct market links, mainly to Polymarket, plus partner or comparison links such as Preddy. Those links help a user inspect the market or route into execution. They should not be confused with the evidence citations stored in the research summary.
In short: a citation explains context, while a market link helps the user inspect or act.
- Polymarket link: inspect live order flow, price, and the actual contract wording.
- Preddy link: compare partner consensus and, if useful, route into execution workflow.
- News citation: inspect the external context item that the product believes is relevant to the thesis.
Why links are missing
Missing citations usually come from one of three constraints: the category is not mapped to a monitored RSS bucket, the monitored bucket is stale, or the market is being analyzed mostly through structure signals instead of outside news.
Sports is the clearest example. The current sports stack relies on priors and market structure more than a dedicated citation layer, so the honest default is usually no external source citation.
- No citation does not mean no analysis: it may simply mean the market is being evaluated mostly through structure signals.
- A citation does not prove a trade: it can improve context while the setup remains informational.
- The cleanest signal: aligned price disagreement plus evidence plus category support is stronger than any one layer by itself.
Frequently asked questions
Because citations require both category eligibility and fresh news items in the monitored RSS feeds.
No. They are platform links. Evidence citations come from the research summary layer and reference monitored news items.
