      "resolutionDeadline": "2028-01-31",
      "rationale": "Initial research judgment: moderately more likely than not. The founder page currently reports 22 companies. Eight more over roughly sixteen months is plausible, but this review has not established a launch rate, survival rate or historical forecast base rate. The probability is an explicit starting judgment, not a fitted estimate.",
      "resolution": "Use the last archived or contemporaneously saved copy of the official founders page dated December 25–31, 2027 UTC. Resolve yes when its explicit cumulative count of companies that have raised is at least 30, no when a comparable explicit count is below 30. Read the claim as reported by the platform; do not substitute a token roster, successful survivors or proposal count. Evidence must be obtained by January 31, 2028.",

      "resolutionDeadline": "2028-03-31",
      "rationale": "Initial research judgment: plausible but less likely than not under this strict documentation test. The 2025 pilot established one allocation and stated an intention to continue. Insider influence and forecasting complexity remain obstacles. An intention is not a delivery schedule or a measured continuation rate.",
      "resolution": "Audit all posts in the official Uniswap Foundation blog dated through March 31, 2028, including their linked primary grant records. Count distinct rounds only when the Foundation funded them, an announced conditional-market comparison selected a grant recipient, and a primary record states the grant was awarded after September 10, 2026 and on or before December 31, 2027. Different recipients in one round count once. Exclude ordinary grants, advisory-only markets, the July 2025 pilot, announcements without awards and rounds funded solely by other organizations. Resolve yes at two qualifying rounds; resolve no below two only after recording a complete archive/index audit.",
      "missingEvidence": "An inaccessible or incomplete blog archive, conflicting award dates or an unreviewed index means unresolved. This target measures public documentation in a named corpus, not all private activity.",

      "rationale": "Initial neutral judgment around the IEA’s current central projection. The IEA is not assigning a 50% probability: this report does so as a transparent starting forecast. Bottlenecks could constrain growth; demand and capacity expansion could exceed expectations. No error distribution has been estimated, so this is not a calibrated percentile.",
      "resolution": "Use the latest IEA publication released by December 31, 2032 that explicitly gives a retrospective estimate for global data-centre electricity consumed during calendar 2030. Include AI and non-AI data centres, using TWh per year. An explicit point estimate of at least 950 resolves yes; a lower point estimate resolves no. A published range wholly above or below the threshold can resolve; a straddling range cannot. Do not use an earlier forecast, installed power capacity, AI-only electricity or a global-total electricity figure. Freeze this evidence vintage for the original score even if later estimates change.",
      "missingEvidence": "No comparable retrospective IEA estimate by the resolution deadline means unresolved. A source forecast is not an observed outcome.",
