Verdict
Our seven yeses, with the asterisks
We score ourselves Yes on all seven, and we would rather hand you the qualifications than have you find them. Both are already published; neither is a footnote we invented for this page.
- Check 1 — published before the outcome. True today, and there is a hard 09:20 ET cutoff that makes a late entry impossible. It was not always true: our scheduler drifted past the opening bell on seven occasions and logged 128 picks anyway. An outside reader found it in our public CSV six weeks later. Those cohorts are excluded, the headline moved from −2.68% to −3.40% when we did it, and the whole thing is written up.
- Check 6 — immutable record. The log opens 2026-06-09; the hash chain’s genesis block is 2026-07-06. 253 picks predate the seal. Everything from the genesis block on is chained and any edit to a sealed row is provable — but for those first four weeks you are trusting our git history rather than checking a chain, and external archiving only began in late July 2026. We cannot retrospectively seal them without defeating the point of sealing. The limits are stated on the Trust page.
Neither of these turns a Yes into a No. Both are the sort of thing a service grading itself has every incentive to leave out — which is the argument for not letting anyone grade themselves, us included.
Now run it on us
That button at the top fills in our own honest answers, including the ones that are uncomfortable. We publish every pick before the open, grade winners and losers automatically five trading days later, and keep the log append-only with a published hash chain. We also publish the times we broke our own discipline — like the 128 picks logged after the opening bell. Bought and held, our picks as a group have lost money, and that is on the record too.
If a scorecard you can run on us is worth anything, it is because we did not get to grade ourselves. See the record →
How the verdict is computed
Three checks are gates
Checks 1 (published before the outcome), 2 (losers shown next to winners) and 7 (a stranger can verify it) are pass/fail. A hard no on any of them means the rest cannot rescue it — if the record was written after the fact, or the losers are missing, or nothing can be independently confirmed, then the other four answers are describing a document that has no evidentiary value. This is the same rule stated at the end of the guide: any hard no on #1, #2 or #7 — keep your money.
The four other checks are weighted equally
Checks 3, 4, 5 and 6 each count once. They can move a service between fully checkable and checkable with named gaps, but they cannot fail it on their own and they cannot rescue a failed gate.
“Can’t tell” is a real answer, and it is not neutral
If you cannot find the answer after looking, that is information about the service, not about you. A record designed to be checked makes all seven answers easy to find. So unknowns are counted and reported separately rather than being scored as passes — and if unknowns dominate, the verdict says the service cannot be assessed from what it publishes, which is itself the finding.
Nothing leaves your browser
There is no account, no email gate and no analytics call on your answers. The “copy a link” button encodes your seven answers into the URL itself so you can paste it to someone — that link is the only place your answers ever go, and only if you press it.
