Prediction Markets as Information Infrastructure

Prediction markets have evolved beyond niche financial instruments into broader coordination and signaling systems. They are increasingly referenced in contexts such as public policy, governance forecasting, technology adoption, and event probability estimation. However, the tooling surrounding these markets remains heavily execution-focused, leaving a gap in analytical infrastructure.

Current Tooling Gaps

Existing platforms typically emphasize:

• Order placement and position tracking

• Real-time price monitoring

• Short-term probability changes

They offer limited support for:

• Historical pattern analysis

• Cross-market comparisons

• Structural interpretation of liquidity and belief shifts

• Explainability for non-trading users

This creates friction for researchers, analysts, and developers who seek understanding rather than participation.

Polarity’s Positioning

Polarity is positioned as a meta-layer above prediction markets—complementary rather than competitive. By remaining read-only and non-executing, it avoids overlap with trading interfaces and instead focuses on analytical depth, interpretability, and neutrality.

The platform is relevant to:

• Market researchers studying belief formation

• Developers building analytical or educational tools

• Governance analysts examining collective signaling

• Advanced users seeking structured market context
