Gotcha risk — resolution-rule assessment

Show full assessmentShow less

The rules clearly specify the exact metric, list, and resolution source: the number one ranked individual on Google's official Year in Search Global 'People' list for 2026. A specific navigation path is provided to locate the ranking on Google Trends. The market resolves as soon as the official list is published, with a clear fallback resolving to Other if Google fails to release the list by March 31, 2027. Note that Google's Year in Search reflects top trending searches rather than raw total search volume, but the rules explicitly bind resolution to Google's official ranking list.
