Kalshi and Polymarket disagree.
Crossbook keeps score.

We read both venues’ terms, call it before it settles, and grade every call.

7.5 pts apart on the same question.

Crossbook 23.3%. The base rate for a recession onset in any given ~15-month window is about 18%, derived from 12 NBER recessions across 75 years; the resolution rule's alternative two-consecutive-negative-GDP trigger broadens this only slightly, since such episodes nearly always coincide with NBER recessions.

    Signal: the settlement bar is low—one deliberate official meeting aimed at ceasefire/peace/substantive de-escalation suffices, no agreement required, and indirect formats may qualify—so back-channel or lower-level diplomacy can resolve YES even amid fighting.
