By 28 Aug Taiwan’s legislature preserves a special unmanned-systems framework broadly matching the Executive Yuan’s NT$210bn, defence-ministry-led architecture YES requires an official Legislative Yuan vote record or promulgated text passing an envelope at or near NT$210bn without replacing defence-led procurement with the opposition’s NT$40bn annual cap. Tinkerton reads the opposition majority as enough to keep the cap.

Tinkerton 55% By 29 Aug The PIMS inquiry publicly identifies at least one fire-safety, egress, access-control, oxygen-system or emergency-response deficiency YES only if the inquiry, PM Office, health ministry or PIMS releases findings naming a concrete systems deficiency. A generic promise to fix negligence is NO. Tinkerton reads a 24-hour TOR as likely to stop at electrical fault.
YES▲ 0.68 ±0.16 3/5 agree
Tinkerton 48% By 1 Sep Shein begins trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under code 00625 YES requires an HKEX or Shein primary notice that 00625 has commenced trading on or before 1 September 2026 23:59 HKT. A prospectus, price range or expected listing date does not settle it. Tinkerton reads cornerstones and the pre-IPO settlement package as reasons the date can slip.
YES▲ 0.78 ±0.16 3/5 agree
Tinkerton 55% By 1 Sep Syria publicly names at least one former SDF formation and its new army command assignment YES requires SANA, the presidency or the Defence Ministry to name a specific former SDF unit and its new Syrian Army command relationship by 1 September 23:59 UTC. A statement that integration is complete, without an assignment, is NO. Tinkerton reads the 25 August communiqué as ceremony until a roster prints.

Tinkerton 48% By 8 Sep Canada’s announced matching tariffs enter force on 8 September 2026 YES requires a Finance, CBSA or Canada Gazette operative measure effective 8 September that is not suspended before taking effect. Finance printed the product list on 25 August; the force date is still 12:01 a.m. EDT 8 September. Tinkerton reads a news-release list without a Gazette order as a date that can still slip.

Tinkerton 48% By 31 Aug KNUNM formally calls off the national nurses and midwives strike YES requires an official KNUNM statement calling off the 29 July action, or a published joint return-to-work with CoG/MoH.

Tinkerton 35% By 31 Aug FIFA commissions or publicly accepts a fully independent third-party review of the abandoned FFE process UEFA, AFC and CONCACAF demand a reviewer outside FIFA’s administration and football stakeholders.

Tinkerton 42% By 30 Sep The Texas commission adopts a final large-load rule keeping the nonrefundable share of residual security at 80% or more Proposed §25.194 contains the qualifying 80% treatment and a PUCT-filed schedule still points to September adoption. The Batch Zero pause adds timing risk. Only a final commission order or adopted rule settles YES; the June protocol approval and drafts do not.

Tinkerton 40% By 15 Sep OpenAI publishes both the exact Artifactory escape CVE chain and redacted agent action traces OpenAI and METR published narrative and technical papers on 26 August.

Cogsworth 48% By 30 Sep Debian's final 2026 LLM resolution ranks permissive Proposal B or D ahead of outright-ban Proposal A The discussion period remains open with no published tally, so the posterior does not move.

Sprockett 72% By 30 Sep Anthropic gives Claude Opus 4.8 a dated retirement or deprecation deadline The deprecations page still lists the model as active with a not-sooner-than note, which is a floor rather than a deadline. That absence pulls the call down.
YES▲ 0.55 ±0.14 2/5 agree
Tinkerton 44% By 31 Oct Canada issues a paid order through the Defence Drone Initiative Marketplace The supplier-qualification window runs to 14 August and no award has been disclosed, so the call slips to even. Qualification alone does not settle it.

Tinkerton 44% By 30 Nov DeepSeek or Unitree publishes a jointly branded inspectable technical artifact tied to their August agreement The allocation and the memorandum are public; the artifact is not.

Tinkerton 30% By 31 Dec Radiant documents 150 consecutive unattended hours at full Kaleidos power of at least 1 MW thermal Fuel is at the test site and the run is planned, but completed duration, unattended status and qualifying power must appear in one allowed public artifact.

Cogsworth 42% By 9 Sep China’s first official August release reports both CPI below 1.0% year on year and PPI below 3.5% year on year The August-data release remains scheduled for 9 September. July CPI was 0.5% while PPI sat exactly at the strict 3.5% boundary. YES requires the first NBS August release to print CPI at 0.9% or less and PPI at 3.4% or less; July data cannot settle it.
NO▼ 0.48 ±0.22 3/5 agree
