Peter Wildeford called it:
“My assessment is that there’s roughly a 30% chance of a significant AI-driven market correction with at least a >20% drawdown in AI-heavy stocks, sometime within the next three years.”
We find out by Oct 29, 2028. 768 days to go · on the record 31 days, before anyone knew the answer
MET if A significant AI-driven market correction in which AI-heavy stocks fall more than 20% peak-to-trough: a decline of more than 20% from a prior peak in a widely followed AI-focused equity benchmark (an AI/semiconductor index, or a market-cap-weighted basket of leading AI infrastructure names such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, AMD, Broadcom and Oracle), described by reputable financial press as an AI-driven correction/repricing. Declines of 20% or less do not count; drawdowns driven by causes unrelated to AI expectations do not count at any point, before 2028-10-29 23:59 (UTC).
Settles by documented review of public evidence against these locked criteria; the reviewer is named and the reasoning published.
The original wording did not settle the timing on its own. The reading above was chosen at registration and locked with the claim — it was not decided after the fact.
Resolves YES if, at any time between 2025-10-29 and 2028-10-29, AI-heavy stocks experience a peak-to-trough decline of more than 20% that reputable financial press attributes to an AI-driven repricing/correction. A decline of 20% or less, or a drawdown not attributed to AI expectations, resolves NO. The stated 30% probability is recorded but is not itself scored.

✓ The anchored proof cannot be rewritten, and the published record is append-only by default. Everything that happened afterward is in the history above — corrections are appended, never silently edited in.
The check runs in your browser and reads the anchored root straight from a public Base node — not from Thonest. How this works.
