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

Why this matters:
This represents market participants' assessment that the U.S. President will visit Greenland sometime between now and January 20, 2029, at roughly 47% probability. The forecast reflects several competing considerations: sustained geopolitical interest in Greenland's strategic position has elevated official attention, making a state visit more plausible than in prior years. However, the compressed timeframe—less than 2.5 years—and competing presidential priorities create headwinds. The probability structure suggests meaningful uncertainty, with near-term resolution (before Jan 1, 2027) priced at just 15%, indicating most traders expect any visit to occur later in the presidential term if at all. Key drivers include evolving U.S.-Greenland diplomatic engagement, Arctic policy developments, and the President's travel schedule. The outcome will resolve definitively through public records or official announcements.

Key factors:
- Official U.S.-Greenland bilateral meetings and stated diplomatic priorities between now and January 2029 indicate likelihood of high-level visits
- Current geopolitical focus on Arctic resources and defense positioning affects willingness to allocate presidential time to Greenland visits
- Market assigns only 15% probability to a visit before Jan 1, 2027, suggesting traders expect either late-term scheduling or non-occurrence
- Historical precedent of U.S. presidential visits to Greenland is sparse, creating baseline skepticism about near-term travel
- Any announced Greenland visit would immediately resolve the contract and shift probabilities based on official scheduling

## 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.
