Sources & scoring

Articles display the source name and an original link when available. Sources may require a subscription, revise their reporting or remove a page. A Ticklex summary does not grant rights to republish the source.

“Published on Ticklex” is the time recorded for publication here. “Source published” appears only when a source timestamp is available. The two can differ. Article timestamps explicitly use UTC for consistent reading across regions.

A value from 0 to 10 expresses the model’s assessment of an event’s relevance and impact on its associated subject. A higher value suggests more attention, not a predicted magnitude of price movement.

A value from −1 to +1 expresses the model’s negative-to-positive interpretation relative to the associated subject. It is not a buy or sell instruction or a prediction over a particular time horizon.

A value from 0 to 1 is displayed as a percentage. Current scoring instructions ask the model to classify the underlying source: official first-hand disclosures rank highest, followed by named media sources, unnamed reports, analyst forecasts and unverified rumors. This is not an unrestricted self-confidence score, calibrated accuracy rate, event probability or investment win rate.

Reference bands: official first-hand information 90–100%; established media citing named sources 70–85%; reports without named sources 50–65%; analyst views or forecasts 30–45%; rumors and speculation 10–25%. Source classification can still be wrong. A high score does not mean Ticklex has manually verified the facts.

Scores depend on the available text and context. They can miss information already reflected in prices, later disclosures or conflicting reports. Comparing scores is not a way to rank expected returns.

We do not present independently validated accuracy figures or investment backtests here. Use the original source, additional evidence and your own judgment.
