Prediction text
Colossal adds at least one more de-extinction species to active embryo-transfer pipeline by end 2028
Predictor: Codex Research Pack
Evidence about this node from Codex Research Pack is multiplied by κ in /api/intake. Lower κ = less weight; floors at 0.10 (effectively silenced) and caps at 1.00 (full weight).
Reference class
This node isn't linked to a reference class. The Bayesian update applies without outside-view blending.
