Check settlement rules before comparing contracts. Matched outcomes may settle differently. These are stored prices; record update times do not certify live quotes. Differences exclude fees and available size.

Known rule differences between venues

  • Both settle on the publisher's announcement. Groups and concepts (e.g. 'AI', 'ChatGPT') may be judged differently when TIME names a group.

A shared identity alone does not make a price difference executable.
