Methodology
The IPO ladder estimates a current equivalent of future first-day public capitalization. The threshold curve estimates a deadline maximum and bridges it to a current equivalent.
Rai’s ensemble then combines those comparable current-equivalent outputs with explicit method and evidence-family weights.

Turns a set of “at least this high” contracts into a probability distribution for the maximum valuation reached before a deadline.
Normalizes method influence within each evidence family, then combines family estimates with explicit weights while preserving the input range.
How to read the results
Polymarket supplies contract prices and source rules.
Each method applies its documented time and scenario assumptions before it enters the combined estimate.
Rai averages within evidence families first, then across families. The input range remains visible beside the result.
