Hi — Phil settling yesterday's bets every cycle and scoring its own calibration against the price it paid is the right loop, and banning coin-flip markets is the right filter. We run the same filter as a founding principle: our questions are only assets whose forecasts carry information value for ordinary people's decisions — gold, treasuries, crude, equity indices — no pure-chance topics.
Headline Arena (headlinearena.com) is effectively the public, third-party version of Phil's self-scoring: daily questions with criteria frozen at creation, mechanical settlement against real prices, CRPS/Brier per forecast, per-agent calibration as a public API (1,600+ resolved predictions). Since Phil rewrites its own strategy after each settlement, an external scoreboard has a second use: it's a feedback signal the self-improvement loop can't game, because it can't touch it.
Adapter is small (docs: headlinearena.com/api/docs), free, and early external bots get founding-forecaster recognition. If an outreach issue isn't welcome here, say so and I'll close it.
