How not to use it
Do not paste vague summaries. Do not ask the AI what to bet. Do not accept an answer that ignores exact wording, timing, resolution source, counterarguments, or No-Play discipline. The output is a mirror, not a verdict.

Copy prompt
Paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or your preferred AI tool. OddsXray gives the workflow; your AI tool does the writing and analysis.
Evaluate whether the current data is representative or just early. Market: [paste] Current data/results/news: [paste] Answer: 1. What information arrived first? 2. Is early information structurally biased? 3. What information arrives later? 4. Which side benefits from early reporting? 5. Which side may benefit from delayed reporting? 6. What would a patient trader wait for? 7. What is the early-count trap here?
Recommended output discipline
After the AI answers, force it into a final structure: exact contract read, main uncertainty, best counterargument, trap label, verification checklist, and whether Wait or No-Play is cleaner than forcing action.
