THE CALL

Will Grüne win the most seats in the 2026 Berlin state elections?

Polymarket was sharper on this question — by lower Brier against the same outcome.

The market-implied probability on the day we sealed our call, pinned once and never re-snapshotted. We forecast independently — the market is the benchmark, not an input.

Resolved by independent prediction-market settlement: the matched Polymarket market "Will Grüne win the most seats in the 2026 Berlin state elections?" settled NO. CrisisBrief's sealed forecast is graded against that same outcome. The link to that market is ledger entry 9447, sealed late: the link was made before links were sealed.
