Predictions, on the record.

We place dated, falsifiable reads on real companies before the outcome is known — then grade each one in the open when a public event settles it. Most are still open. That is the point: a standing bet anyone can check.

What this is. A public register of reads we have already published. Each is dated, tied to a checkable public event, and carries a confidence level. When the event lands, we mark the read Validated, Partly, or Wrong — and show the source that settled it. Being willing to be graded in public is the asset; a polished claim is not. Analysis of public companies from public information; not investment advice.
Status today

Open placed on the record, awaiting the public event that settles it.   Echoed later restated by the company's own disclosure — consistency, not independent proof.   Validated settled by an outside event (none yet — the oldest reads resolve from 2026 onward).

— Elixirr (LSE: ELIX) · placed May 2026

— MacPaw · placed May 2026

Five reads the company's own report later echoed.

After publication, MacPaw's own Social Impact Review 2025 restated several of these reads. We mark that honestly as consistency, not independent proof — a company restating its story is not the market confirming it. Read the full case →

Still open, by the company's own document: real Eney adoption, Setapp developer traction, and revenue spread beyond CleanMyMac.

— Axent · placed Jun 2026

Five dated markers on a borrowed-provenance brand.

Reads of the market around Axent — not predictions of its sales or any share price (it is private, and we hold no internal numbers). Each is settled by a public, checkable event. Read the full case →
