How to read this

Each point is a month. The green line is the Hunch forecast on every resolved market it covers; the gold line is the historical figure, on the smaller set of markets that carry one. The number under each month is how many markets the Hunch line rests on. The dashed line is 50%, which is what guessing gives you. The chart shows months with at least six scored Hunch forecasts.

Of the 791 resolved markets, 704 carry a Hunch forecast that points one way, and 388 carry a historical figure of their own. Multiple-choice markets are not scored, and neither is a historical figure that lands on 50, because it points nowhere.
