Setting up

forecast scoring

Confido supports Brier scoring for binary questions. Set it up with a few clicks.

  1. Go to room settings

    Scoring is done on a per-room basis. You need to configure a given room for scoring.

  2. Optionally, configure score time

    Confido allows users to continuously update their forecasts. By default, each participant’s latest prediction is scored, so once a question is closed or resolved, no further updates can change the score.

    If the answer may become obvious while the question is still open, you can instead choose a specific point in time from which predictions will be considered. Updates made after that time will not affect scoring. While it is possible to set up score time for each question separately, usually it is easiest to configure a default score time for the whole room.

  3. Enable scoring

    Now you can enable scoring for the room and choose who will be allowed to see the scoreboard. The scores will be visible only after the questions have been resolved.

  4. Make predictions

    Now you can invite participants to make predictions on your questions.

  5. Resolve questions

    Once predicting is done and answers are known, you can mark the questions as resolved. This will make the scoreboard visible to whomever you configured.

  6. See the results

    You can see the scoreboard on the Score tab on the room page.
