Calibration is a distinct measure from raw accuracy - a model can win most of its bets while being badly miscalibrated (e.g., stating 95% confidence on events that only happen 60% of the time). LightningRod measured its forecasting model on Polymarket using calibration as a primary metric, not just profit or win rate. Ben Turtle uses Polymarket bets as a forcing function for calibration training: putting money down on a prediction and seeing the outcome is the fastest way to build an accurate internal probability estimator.
