Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 12 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This contract reflects market expectations that Taco Bell will achieve same-store sales growth exceeding 7% in fiscal 2026. The 97% probability indicates traders believe this outcome is highly likely, but the sharp price drop across the threshold contracts—from 74¢ at 4% growth to just 18¢ at 7% growth—reveals concentration of uncertainty in the 4-7% range. Resolution depends on Yum! Brands' fiscal 2026 earnings report, which typically occurs in early 2027. Key drivers include consumer demand for value-oriented quick-service restaurants, pricing power, menu innovation at Taco Bell, and broader economic conditions affecting discretionary spending. The low contract volume ($178 in 24-hour trading) suggests limited market depth, so the 97% headline price reflects relatively few transactions and should be interpreted cautiously.

Key factors:
- Taco Bell's historical same-store sales growth trends and whether 7%+ is consistent with or significantly above recent performance
- Macroeconomic conditions through fiscal 2026, particularly consumer spending patterns in the QSR value segment
- Pricing actions and promotional strategy at Taco Bell relative to competitor responses and elasticity dynamics
- The sharp probability cliff between 4% and 7% growth thresholds, suggesting most traders cluster expectations between 4-6%
- Trading volume and depth are minimal ($178/day), indicating the 97% price reflects thin liquidity and may not represent robust consensus

## 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.

## SF Signal

- SF Index, regime, and 30d Brier calibration are computed separately and surfaced at https://simplefunctions.dev/admin/calibration.
- No SimpleFunctions index / regime / calibration signal is bound to this topic yet — the headline above is market-derived only.
