Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 3 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This measures the likelihood that the U.S. Senate will formally adjourn from substantive legislative work for its August 2026 recess before August 10, 2026. At 86%, the market reflects a strong expectation that the recess begins within the next few days. The Senate typically concludes floor business before its scheduled recess periods, and the timing of adjournment depends on the volume of pending legislation, procedural motions, and partisan dynamics that may delay votes. The key driver is whether leadership can clear remaining legislative items by the target date or whether unexpected procedural matters force an extension. Resolution occurs when the Senate formally announces adjournment from substantive business, which is typically reported in real-time through official Senate records and floor announcements.

Key factors:
- Senate leadership schedule and stated intention to adjourn before August 9-10 based on public statements
- Number and complexity of pending votes or legislative items still requiring floor time as of August 7
- Historical pattern of Senate recess timing in August relative to the formal congressional calendar
- Whether any unexpected procedural delays, amendments, or floor disputes emerge in the final days
- Official Senate adjournment announcement reported through Senate.gov or floor records, which constitutes the resolution trigger

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.
