PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both platforms use identical resolution criteria, timing, source hierarchy, and edge case treatment with no material divergence.

Primary resolution logic:

Official statements from Elon Musk and Ryanair; consensus of credible reporting as secondary source

Core resolution logic:

YES if credible reporting confirms Elon Musk personally or through an entity led or majority-owned by him enters into an agreement to buy Ryanair
Agreement must be announced by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET
An announced agreement qualifies for YES resolution even if the acquisition is never completed
A merger agreement with a qualifying entity (led or majority-owned by Musk) counts toward YES resolution
NO if no such agreement is credibly reported by the deadline

Edge cases & Clarifications:

Partial or minority stake: Does not qualify. The entity acquiring Ryanair must be led by or majority-owned by Elon Musk. A minority investment or board seat alone does not trigger YES resolution.
Letter of intent vs binding agreement: An announced agreement (LOI or binding contract) qualifies. The resolution criteria specify 'enters into an agreement,' which includes announced LOIs, not just final closings.
Deal announced after deadline: Resolves NO. The agreement must be announced by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Any announcement after this timestamp does not qualify.
Source ambiguity: Primary sources are official Musk and Ryanair statements. If official sources conflict with credible reporting, official sources take precedence. Consensus among credible outlets (Reuters, Bloomberg, AP, etc.) can resolve the market if official sources are silent.

Timing:

Resolution occurs upon credible reporting of an agreement announcement, or on June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET if no agreement is announced by that time (resolves NO).
