Gotcha risk — resolution-rule assessment

The resolution conditions clearly define what qualifies as a positive outcome, explicitly excluding ongoing investigations, unverified claims, or speculation that an escape is merely possible. The primary risk stems from the lack of a named official regulatory source, as resolution relies on judging whether a consensus of credible reporting has confirmed the event. Deciders must interpret media agreement rather than referencing a single authoritative database or government report. The end date and time are clearly specified with a standard negative resolution default if definitive confirmation is absent.
