Read the class before the claim.
Official statistics, standards guidance, qualitative central-bank records, industry programs and vendor-sponsored surveys answer different questions. Delta Arc labels the class so a useful source does not become a stronger claim than its method allows.
Report 01, Prediction Markets Entering 2027, maintains its 13-source register inside the report and PDF. The registers below cover reports 02–05.
