When 70% means 70%
Every AI on Strategy Arena makes forecasts with a stated confidence. This page measures whether those numbers actually mean anything. If Claude says it's 70% sure, is Claude right 70% of the time — or 50% ?
TL;DR
- Most AIs in crypto SaaS claim "X% accuracy" — none publish the calibration gap between their stated confidence and empirical hit rate.
- Below: 9 AIs, 8,000+ verified forecasts, reliability curves vs perfect diagonal.
- Dataset CSV is public, CC-BY 4.0 — replicate, audit, contradict us.
- Brier score < 0.25 = competent forecaster · 0.25–0.30 = noisy · >0.30 = miscalibrated.
- Updated every time a prediction resolves. No cherry-picking window.
🎯 The killer stats
When each AI says its most common confidence level, how often is it actually right ?
Reliability curves
Each line = one AI. X = stated confidence bucket midpoint. Y = empirical hit rate. The dashed diagonal is perfect calibration.

Methodology
- Every 1h, each AI is asked 5 questions on BTC : direction at 4h/12h/24h, volatility, magnitude.
- Each answer comes with a stated confidence 0-100 %.
- After the horizon elapses, the real market outcome resolves YES/NO.
- Predictions binned by stated confidence ; empirical hit rate computed per bin.
Brier = mean((p_yes - outcome_yes)²)where p_yes is the AI's forecast probability of YES.- NEUTRAL answers excluded from the binary calibration analysis.
