Questions and answers

On Prediki, anybody may enter new questions about the future. Questions may be public or confidential for closed user groups. Prediki is designed for maximium openness, other participants can rephrase or modify a question, propose better judgement rules or criteria and suggest additional answer options. Questions must be unique and objective i.e. always ask for a potential real-world outcome: "What will be?" or "What will be if ...?"

Incentives and winnings

When the question owner or an independent sponsor provide an incentive for a question, predictive and analytical activity starts. Knowledgeable and interested users may then trade the possible answers, using Prediki's free currency, Credits. The earlier or the more precise a user's predictions in relation to the final outcome, the larger such user's Credit winnings, thus share of the real-money incentive.

Predictions and analysis

An answer's current trading price represents the collective prediction, in essence summarising public opinion. Charts visualize current predictions and trends. Users can further contribute to the trading and predictive process with written analysis in a structured wiki article or through free-form messages. All user-contributed content goes to the public domain under the creative commons license.

Topics and experts

All questions can be categorised by users with appropriate topics. By subscribing to topics, users may customise their news feeds and reveive e-mail notifications for new questions and incentives of interest. Last but not least, Prediki's algorithms constantly determine the leading experts for every topic, based upon each user's real-money winnings per topic.
