| Case study | Rows | Forecast type | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI researcher startup valuations | 116 | Numeric (percentiles) | $9 |
| Polymarket profit screening | 55 | Binary probabilities | $5 |
| Anthropic & OpenAI IPO forecasts | 2 | Date + valuation | $1 |
Why costs vary
Forecasters run LLM-powered web research agents that gather evidence, weigh base rates, and synthesize multiple sources into calibrated predictions. Simple binary questions cost less; numeric forecasts with full percentile distributions require more research. You only pay for the intelligence each row needs. We measure calibration accuracy on Deep Research Bench.
