  1. The Hypothesis Vision

A New Model of Accountability

All of this amounts to a structure of accountability embedded deep into the DNA of Hypothesis, driven by a symbiotic relationship between predictor and creator. Such a positive feedback loop differentiates Hypothesis from the social media platforms that thrive off of crafting incentives that drive engagement instead of build trust, positioning it as both a viable alternative to traditional news aggregators and the first of a new class of applications that seek to more equitably quantify the human experience with an innovative set of transparent and constructive metrics.
