4 · From reading to claim

Technique: pratyantar dasha against the crowd

India runs Mars mahadasha / Rahu antardasha / Ketu pratyantar until 10 Oct. Ketu signifies withdrawal and holding back (BPHS ch. 3), so the reading leans to a hold, against the crowd. Untested rule, so it moves the crowd's number down by the 0.05 cap only.

The claim follows the engine's own output as stated in chart_basis; no hand-made rule is added (engine methods v2.x-engine*). Confidence follows confidence_method in the record.

5 · Base rate (how often this happens anyway)

Stated: Crowd-priced: Polymarket about 77% for a 25 bp hike (thin market); a Reuters poll of 18-28 Sep had 35 of 61 economists (57%) expecting the hike. Current repo rate 5.25%.

6 · Crowd and context

Crowd: {'date': '2026-09-29', 'platform': 'Polymarket', 'prob': 0.77}

7 · Evidence against (from the engine itself)

8 · Confidence

Stated 72% · base rate (base_rate_p in the record (computed from price history before logging)) 77.0% · edge -0.05

Edge = our stated confidence minus how often this happens anyway. A claim only adds evidence for the engine if it is right more often than its base rate.

9 · What decides it

Right if: The RBI Monetary Policy Committee statement of 7 Oct 2026 sets the policy repo rate at 5.50%.

Wrong if: Any other outcome (a hold, or a different size). Void if the decision falls outside 5-9 Oct 2026.
