Ottawa is becoming a flashpoint for intensifying debates over Canada's energy policy and provincial autonomy.

Calibration

LOW tier, this pattern is structurally interesting but not directly calibratable yet. The confidence is a function of raw signal magnitude only.

Patterns of this shape resolved 0 YES of 3 historical Polymarket markets that share at least one of this claim's entities (3 NO, 0% YES rate).

Entities

• Ottawa (place) gravity 0.0021 · momentum -0.183 · Q1930

Signals

• factor 3.72
• n_prior 54
• n_recent 201
• window_days 14

Confidence (58%) is computed numerically from these signals. The sentence prose was written by an LLM given only the structured signals as input, the LLM never sees or chooses the confidence number.

What would change our mind

Event density in the cluster falls back to the 14-day baseline, or new events stop arriving for 7 consecutive days.

Inversion conditions are a property of the pattern detector, not the LLM. Watch for this signal move and the claim should weaken or be superseded.
