# Check the Mic (podcast) — prediction record



## Record, pooled across everyone writing under this banner

- **Accuracy:** 57.77%
- **MissedTakes Score:** 35.44
- **Graded articles:** 8
- **Graded individual calls:** 39
- **Pundits contributing:** 2
- **Clarity:** 95.83%

PROVISIONAL: fewer than 10 graded articles. This number is not yet meaningful, and the publisher is excluded from rankings.

The MissedTakes Score is how much better than a naive baseline the calls did, not how often they were right. Zero means no better than a strategy requiring no knowledge. A record is counted in ARTICLES rather than individual calls.
