How this market settles
What could still go wrong
- The market resolves YES 'immediately' upon any confirming event, but the end date is 2027-04-01T03:59:00Z — unclear what happens if a confirming event occurs exactly at or after the end timestamp
- No specific official source is designated for verifying ticker assignment or IPO pricing events
- 'Confirms an IPO' in the description headline is vaguer than the three specific criteria listed — could cause dispute if OpenAI announces intent but does not meet any of the three technical criteria
- Timezone not explicitly stated for the Apr 1, 2027 deadline beyond the UTC timestamp in the end date field
- The description says 'OpenAI confirms an IPO' but the three technical criteria do not require any official statement from OpenAI itself — a third-party exchange assigning a ticker would suffice
Evidence you can inspect These labels describe how a claim relates to the question. They are not recommendations or independent votes.
