Every month we verify our predictions with real data. Our system has a validated 78.3% accuracy rate across 246 individually audited predictions (March–July 2026). Since July 17, we've added quality filters (minimum creator diversity, exclusion of pinned-video inflation and seasonal noise) — early post-filter results are trending higher, and we're continuing to measure across more reports before updating this number.
