Gradient is a social forecasting platform where people compete to make the most accurate predictions about real-world events.

Users forecast numeric outcomes across sports, finance, politics, entertainment, and more. Rather than rewarding someone for simply choosing the correct side, Gradient scores predictions based on how close they are to the actual result compared with everyone else.

The platform brings together the social competition of fantasy sports and the excitement of real-world forecasting. Users can compete publicly or privately with friends, build long-term reputations, climb leaderboards, unlock collectibles, and join leagues or head-to-head matchups. Where legally permitted, they can also create or enter real-money contests using the same precision-based scoring system.

Gradient is built around a simple idea: people make predictions every day, but rarely have a way to prove how accurate they are over time. The platform gives them a place to compete, measure their performance, and build a track record that shows who is consistently right.
