    I ran this analysis using Convexly, a calibration-tracking tool I'm working on. The Brier scoring math in the post is the same math that runs in the product. Disclosure out of the …

    Quick update: 1,934 quiz completions, 44.5% scored overconfident. Most interesting finding was that the quiz itself got more engagement than the product behind it. Added educationa…

    Both really good points. The research does suggest that the core skill does transfer. The quiz can help with long horizon predictions. The mechanism itself seems to be the actual a…

    The change to buttons was based on feedback I got today. The slider disappearing is a bug. Pushing a fix now!

    That's honest feedback, I appreciate it. The post quiz shouldn't feel like a sales funnel. I'll clean that up. Working on it!

    Actually means you have really strong knowledge. That 17% gap though is what gets people in trouble in high-stakes settings!
