A limited number of free press passes for working journalists.
If you're writing about markets, behavioral finance, or the statistical absurdity of public discourse — we'd rather you cite us correctly than not at all. We issue a small number of passes at our discretion. Apply below.
What's included
Full API access (in development)
The public API — covering all 6 indicators across four forecast horizons, full history, JSON — is in active development. Press-pass holders get first access when it ships and a direct channel to request endpoints. Until then, contact us for ad-hoc data pulls on deadline.
Embed-ready cards
Every indicator card has a clean PNG and SVG render at 1200×630 and 1080×1080 with attribution baked in.
Pre-publication review
Email a draft and we will tell you if you got the statistics right. Free, fast, no editorial influence.
Direct line
A real inbox that returns within 24h. Sometimes 3h. Never longer than 48.
How to apply
Press passes are issued at our discretion, and we keep the total intentionally small. We're looking for working journalists writing for an outlet with an audience — staffers, freelancers on assignment, or independent writers with a track record. We are not extending press access to students, casual readers, or general-purpose researchers.
One line is enough to get our attention. If the pitch is interesting we'll ask follow-ups — outlet, deadline, the angle you're working — before issuing the pass.
Citation guidelines
Cite indicators by their canonical id (e.g. SP-0007) and link to the indicator page. Always include the OOS status badge — readers should know whether you are quoting an in-sample or out-of-sample result.
Always quote the p-value. Always quote the n. If you quote a hit rate without those two, we will gently email you and ask you to update.
If you are paraphrasing a Standard Poorly disclaimer, please paraphrase it accurately. If you are quoting one, please quote it exactly. The disclaimer is the most important sentence on the page.
Permitted use
Editorial use, including commercial publication, is permitted with attribution. Embedding charts and data tables is permitted with attribution. Training a machine learning model on our data is permitted with attribution and an email letting us know what you're doing.
Prohibited: stripping the disclaimer, attribution-free embeds, automated re-publication of the morning forecast, and presenting any in-sample-only result as if it were OOS validated.
