How We Measure Source Accuracy
1. Read
AI reads articles from more than 90 sources in four languages, throughout the day.
2. Rate
Each article gets a tone rating and the market it is about.
3. Check
Each rating is checked against the market move that followed, with Yahoo Finance price data.
4. Score
Sources are ranked by hit rate per market, next to what chance alone would score.
Why Hit Rates Matter
Read Headlines with Context
A confident headline reads differently once you know how often its source was right before.
Per-Market Records
A source's record on crypto can differ from its record on European stocks. See both.
Measured Against Chance
Every hit rate sits next to the chance rate for its market, so a number is never shown without its baseline.
Track Records Over Time
See how a source's hit rate changes over time.
