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.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve to “Yes” if a pathogen developed, modified, or handled at a wet lab operated by Anthropic is confirmed to have escaped that facility between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” Confirmation that the pathogen escaped the laboratory, research facility, diagnostic facility, or other controlled laboratory setting in which it was contained is required. Investigations, speculation, statements that an escape is possible or has not been ruled out, or statements unverified by a consensus of credible reporting will not suffice. The primary resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
