A Fair-Value & Verification Desk for the Atmosphere

Fair value for the weather.
Then the receipts.

Every operational model — GFS, the European ensemble, AIFS, ICON, the NWS blend — folds into one calibrated, bias-corrected fair value: tomorrow's high, the odds it clears a line, the bust risk before the models break. Then every call is scored against what actually happened. Fair value you can check — priced, verified, settled.

— Live · one decision, priced & scored —

Loading a live contract…

— The desk, in three moves —

Price. One calibrated probability per outcome, blended across every model with a diversity-aware weight — correlated models don't get counted twice.

Prove. Each model scored against the settlement truth on a common board: day-5 skill, who to trust in the flow, reliability — no cherry-picking.

Persist. Every issued forecast frozen at issue time and settled against the record — a tamper-evident track you can audit, not a claim you have to trust.

The analyst's desk


№ 04 · FORECAST

Today's fair value

The calibrated per-station outlook: every model's daily high side by side, the bias-corrected consensus and its odds of clearing a line, and the Fork — ensemble divergence as a bust-risk tell.

See the fair value →
№ 05 · VERIFICATION

The receipts

Every model scored against one common truth: day-5 skill run over run, who to trust in each flow, the reliability diagram, and the season accuracy record — provable by anyone.

№ 06 · METHOD

How it's built

The calibration, the common-truth board that trains the blend, the diversity-aware weighting, and the tamper-evident provenance — every number on the site traced back to how it was made.

The instruments — measurements nobody else publishes


№ 07 · WAIT OR ACT

Is the next run worth waiting for?

Trained on our own frozen record: the probability the consensus moves ≥3°F by the next model cycle, per station and day — a quantified answer to the call every forecaster makes by gut.

№ 08 · HERDING INDEX

How many models do we really have?

The AI models train toward ECMWF, so their errors travel together. Neff measures the effective number of independent opinions in the eight-model fleet — live, trended, by region.

№ 09 · REVERSE FORK

Which scenario is verifying?

The ensemble forked at issue; the atmosphere has been voting since. The posterior on each branch given the verifying analysis — which storyline the evidence now supports, and what moved it.

№ 11 · SCENARIOS

Named storylines, tracked

Each distinct ensemble storyline gets a name the run it emerges and keeps it while it lives — probability mass flowing between scenarios, run over run, on one ticker board.
