Why now

The term 'sortie' is trending due to recent French regional coverage highlighting outdoor excursions and cultural events. Ouest-France recently featured a sortie along the marshlands in Avessac planned for September, while also covering local heritage preservation efforts in the same region. Meanwhile, ladepeche.fr documented a cantonal sortie organized by the cultural group Lo Sérado. These news items reflect how the word sortie is commonly used in contemporary French media to describe organized outings and expeditions, not solely military contexts.

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
