For some time have followed GoodJudgment and their 'superforecasting' services. Most recently got a new overview with considerable efforts and claims.

When you make decisions based on precise probability forecasts, rather than hunches, the benefits are game-changing.
Gain a competitive edge
Making decisions without precise probability forecasts is like playing poker without counting cards. Outsmart your competition with well-calibrated forecasts.
Manage risk
Convert strategic uncertainty into manageable risk to avoid costly mistakes.
Seize opportunities
Identify expected outcomes before others recognize them so that you can capitalize on opportunities quickly and with confidence. From groundbreaking theory to powerhouse practice
In 2011, IARPA – the US intelligence community’s equivalent to DARPA – launched a massive competition to identify cutting-edge methods to forecast geopolitical events.

GJP’s forecasts were so accurate that they even outperformed intelligence analysts with access to classified data.
Good Judgment Inc is now making this winning approach to harnessing the wisdom of the crowd available for commercial use. Our clients benefit from the externally validated forecasting methodology that made the Good Judgment Project so successful.
