Does the Gap Score
predict anything?
We measure two things: whether mainstream media covers the story within 7 days (gap closure), and whether predicted price moves occur within 72 hours (signal strength). This page shows both — live, with case-level drill-down.
We're early. Sample sizes are small. Read the methodology and draw your own conclusions.

What we don't claim
A high Gap Score means social media discussed something before mainstream media covered it. It does not mean GapWatch caused the story to break, or that the social discussion was accurate.
High-gap stories sometimes go nowhere. The denominators in every stat include stories where the predicted outcome didn't materialise. We show the full count.
Stats with n < 20 are labelled "Early signal." Below n < 5, we don't publish a rate at all — just a progress count. The sample grows nightly as more stories cross their 7-day measurement window.
Gap Score = ratio of social discussion to mainstream media coverage at detection time. Outcomes = what happened in the 7–30 days after. The relationship is empirical, not theoretical.
