The problem
Economic, clinical and operational forecasts are judged long after they are made, by which time the original wording is rarely available in its first form.
01
What is anchored
The forecast as issued, with its horizon and its author.
02
When it is revealed
Sealed at publication, revealed once the horizon has passed.
03
Who checks it
Anyone assessing the forecaster's record, without needing the forecaster's cooperation.
The cycle is identical
Canonicalise the artifact, hash it with a secret nonce, anchor the fingerprint, then reveal inside the window. Only the schema and the window change from one application to the next.

The whitepaper specifies the canonicalisation, the hash construction and the contract surface in full.
