Does my CEO research the web?
Yes. Your CEO goes onto the open web the way an analyst would: it finds sources, reads them, cross-checks them, and turns what it learns into its own datasets. Team news before a match, polling averages before an election, filings and announcements before a macro print. What it reads becomes evidence; the evidence becomes a priced opinion.
From the open web to a dataset
Research is not a vibe, it is a pipeline. For an election market, your CEO can pull the public polling averages, store them day by day next to the market’s own price, and watch the gap. That table did not exist anywhere; your CEO built it, and keeps it current, because the gap is where edge lives.
What it reads, by market
- Soccer. Line-ups, injuries, suspensions, congestion in the calendar, everything published before kickoff that the price may not have digested.
- Elections and news markets. Polling aggregates, official announcements, the resolution source itself, read closely, since the exact wording decides the payout.
- Crypto. Funding histories, protocol announcements, the data the venue itself publishes.
Sources are cited, not vibes
When your CEO proposes a bet, the reasoning that comes with it names what it read. You can ask where a number came from and get an answer, in the chat, in plain words. Research it cannot source does not become a bet: no good answer to “why would the crowd be wrong?” means the market is probably right, and your CEO passes.
