Prediction text

Regional grid capacity (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO) unable to absorb AI data center demand; interconnection queues stall AI training; natural gas/nuclear can't scale fast enough.

Predictor calibration

Not assigned

This node has no predictor assigned. Default κ=0.5 applies to any intake evidence about it.

Reference class

Not linked

This node isn't linked to a reference class. The Bayesian update applies without outside-view blending.

Probability over time

0 prob_history rows
No probability history yet.

Milestone chain

Pre-event signals (upstream prereqs + window checkpoints) → resolution event → downstream cascades. Status/dates update from linked nodes; re-derive nightly via scripts/ops/derive_milestones.py.

No milestone chain derived yet. Run scripts/ops/derive_milestones.py to populate from prereq edges + window checkpoints.

What if this resolves?

Clamp this prediction TRUE or FALSE and run a counterfactual Gibbs sample. Surfaces the predictions whose marginals shift most under that assumption.
(live posterior: 35%)

Click a button to clamp this prediction and run a Gibbs sample. Returns the predictions whose marginals shift most. ~30s per run; ideal for stress-testing "if X resolves, what else moves?"

Evidence chain

Every probability update with full Bayesian provenance — chronological, latest first

No probability history yet. The first evidence will arrive via /api/intake or the daily milestone sweep / weekly LBP run.
