Methodology

What This Is

Predictive History is an independent tracker for the geopolitical predictions made in @PredictiveHistory's Game Theory lecture series on YouTube. We extract specific, falsifiable claims from each lecture and track them against real-world events.

How Predictions Are Extracted

Each lecture transcript is analyzed to identify specific, time-bound predictions about geopolitical events. We only include claims that are falsifiable — vague statements like “tensions will increase” are excluded. Each prediction is tagged with relevant topics and linked to its source lecture.

Status Definitions

Verified — The predicted event occurred as described. Evidence includes news sources with dates.
Pending — The prediction has not yet been confirmed or contradicted. The timeframe may still be open.
Wrong — The predicted event did not occur within the stated timeframe, or events clearly contradicted the prediction.

Accuracy Calculation

Accuracy is calculated as verified / (verified + wrong). Pending predictions are excluded from the denominator since their outcome is unknown. This means accuracy will change as pending predictions resolve.
