What OracleMangle measures.
OracleMangle is not a forecasting product. It measures whether an event question is clear enough for automated research workflows, API routing, and repeatable review.
Undefined thresholds
Labels like material, significant, substantial, or clear when the workflow needs a measurable standard.
Source reliability
Whether the question has a single authoritative source or relies on broad, delayed, or conflicting evidence.
Bundled conditions
Questions that combine multiple requirements without explaining partial completion or deadline edge cases.
Historical friction
Patterns that have repeatedly produced contested outcomes across the labelled event-question corpus.
Routing action
A practical signal for whether to continue automation, log the question, rewrite it, or queue manual review.
