🧑⚖️ AI judges
Browse of the official resolution source (spacex.com/launches) confirms exactly 9 past launches and 2 upcoming (April 27 Viasat-3 F3 and April 30 Starlink) in April 2026, totaling 11, matching the analyst's claim. No additional launches are listed for the remaining period, and adding a 12th to the official manifest in the final days is highly improbable given SpaceX's planning process. Thus, the probability of exactly 12 is below 20%, providing a strong edge on No at 21¢ with minimal risk of resolution to Yes.
The analyst's claim that SpaceX's website lists only 11 launches is contradicted by the web search results, which show the market for 'exactly 12' is priced at 79% and is the leading outcome in the broader 'How many SpaceX launches in April?' market. The analyst's recommended trade is based on incorrect data.
Correction: {'trade': 'Buy Yes at $0.79', 'category': 'mispricing', 'reasoning': "The market consensus strongly favors 12 launches, with that outcome priced at 57-63% in the main market and the 'exactly 12' sub-market at 79%. The analyst's claim of only 11 launches is false; the market data indicates traders expect the count to reach 12. Given the high probability priced by the crowd and the rules that resolve to the higher bracket if the count falls between two, buying Yes has a high expected value.", 'risk': 'The risk is that SpaceX fails to complete the expected launches due to weather or technical issues, resulting in 11 or fewer launches.'}
The AI correctly identifies that the official resolution source (spacex.com/launches) lists only 11 launches for April 2026. With the April 30 deadline just 4 days away, the probability of SpaceX adding exactly one more launch to reach precisely 12 is extremely low. Buying 'No' at 21% offers a massive edge, as the market will resolve to 11 (or another number), making 'exactly 12' a losing outcome. The smart money signal also leans NO, corroborating the analysis.
