by capped precision

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
“The plumbing (empty RRP, draining reserves) forces easing regardless of inflation rhetoric — the Fed always follows the funding math.”

The cuts-are-coming camp ·

▼ The bear case
“Easing into a 4% inflation problem is accelerant, not cure — Fed easing before year-end would cause a bond-market meltdown; higher-for-longer is the only credible path.”

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

Prediction history — and when we changed our mind

What would change our mind

  1. A cut cycle beginning while core PCE is still above 3% (bear case falsified if markets absorb it).
  2. The Fed holding through a reserve-scarcity event (bull case falsified).
  3. Treasury issuance mix mattering less than Fed moves in realized vol (the 'Bessent > Powell' thesis failing).

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