Global Guessing

Everything we do centers around quantified geopolitical forecasting–whether we are creating new forecasts about whether the United States will rejoin the Iran Nuclear Deal by the end of 2021 or talking with elite "Superforecasters" such as Regina Joseph, Balkan Devlen, or David Manheim to learn their advice and hear their thoughts about predictions.

We also cover subjects like startups, entrepreneurship, real-money prediction markets, and crypto that interest Clay and Andrew, the co-founders of Global Guessing and co-owners of its parent company baserate.io Incorporated.

At its core, Global Guessing is about geopolitical forecasting. Our two main types of forecasts are elections and Metaculus Mondays.

Forecasts - Global Guessing
We provide our own in-depth forecasts, examining critical elements such as “base-rates” and relevant constraints, and implementing best-practices. The questions are largely tied to geopolitical importance.

With Metaculus Mondays, we select questions from the community prediction platform Metaculus to either forecast, update, or review. We provide our own in-depth forecasts, examining critical elements such as "base-rates", and implementing best-practices, and track the questions to resolution. The questions are largely tied to geopolitical importance.

2. Global Guessing Weekly Podcast
