Is inflation coming back?

Synthos Score: 51/100 — split, ▲ rising. The experts are split but shifting — the six-month trend is toward the sticky-inflation camp: a 3–4% structural floor under fiscal dominance, not a clean return to 2%. Distilled from 1,010 claims by 36 tracked voices, weighted by verified track record.

Synthos Score = precision-weighted expert conviction (bull-share of directional claims; each voice capped, feeds collapsed to persons, recency-decayed). The Frontier Gap gauge arrives when this prediction's market counterpart is wired.

The dialectic — strongest case on each side

▲ The bull case
“Core inflation floors near 3%, not 2%, while the government runs 5–6% deficits — the Fed's tools can't fix fiscal-driven inflation. AI disinflation is a fairy tale: datacenters cost more, not less.”

Forward Guidance + Luke Gromen · the sticky camp

▼ The bear case
“Disinflation has run ahead of consensus before — a demand slowdown plus AI productivity could deliver 2% faster than the fiscal doomers expect.”

Bear cohort · ~50% of directional weight

Every claim traces to a dated source in the Synthos knowledge base. We show the disagreement — that's the product, not a bug.

What would change our mind

  1. Core PCE credibly breaking below 2.5% with growth intact.
  2. The 6-month inflation impulse turning negative for two consecutive prints.
  3. Deficits falling below 4% of GDP (removes the fiscal floor).

These falsifiers are logged with the call and graded in public. Honesty is the product.
