THE FORECAST DESK
AI TOOLS, WATCHED DAILY AT 09:00 BEIJING — YOUR OVERNIGHT · GRADED IN PUBLIC

Terms of use

SHORT VERSION, BINDING ANYWAY. LAST UPDATED 2026-07-16.

What this site is

The Forecast Desk publishes observations and dated, falsifiable opinions about publicly available AI tools, based on our own daily instrument readings and cited public sources. It is commentary and information — not financial, legal or purchasing advice.

Accuracy, honestly stated

We publish what our instrument reads, with dates and sources, and we quarantine readings that fail our sanity checks. Instruments fail; when ours does, it goes in the public corrections ledger and the void ledger. Content is provided “as is”, without warranty. Verify anything material against the primary source before acting on it.

About the companies we cover

Verdicts (HIT/MISS/UNRESOLVED) grade our own forecasts — never a company’s worth. Roles (FRONTRUNNER, CHALLENGER…) are evidence-anchored market descriptions. If we got a fact wrong about your product, use /corrections/: public handling within 48 hours.

Links and affiliations

Outbound links may in future carry affiliate tags; where they do, the page says so next to the link and the link carries rel="sponsored". Commissions never touch verdicts — the disclosure line on each page repeats this.

Your use of this site

You may quote with attribution and a link. Don’t scrape at abusive rates, misrepresent our verdicts as endorsements, or republish wholesale.
