A practical guide to manual review of rejected in-app decisions in TEMIRIN using configured records, explicit market identity, current controls, and human review.

A rejected Polymarket research record captures a useful conclusion: the reviewer saw enough context to avoid progressing. The reason might be weak provenance, ambiguous resolution wording, stale price data, excessive movement since the trigger, existing portfolio concentration, or a policy block. Saving that reason prevents the same questionable idea from returning as if nobody had examined it and gives later analysis a more honest denominator.
TEMIRIN can preserve explicitly linked evidence, the watchlist market identity, trigger and current prices, deterministic brief fields, policy results, and the authenticated in-app reject event. The human reviewer owns the interpretation, and a rejection should state what was known at that moment rather than borrow facts learned later. Later observations belong in a separately dated journal note.
A small taxonomy makes patterns reviewable. Evidence reasons can cover missing primary support, inaccessible sources, or conflicting documents. Market reasons can cover unclear outcome identity, resolution ambiguity, closed status, or unusable price context. Risk reasons can cover per-market exposure, portfolio concentration, price movement, or a disabled policy. Operational reasons can cover stale ingestion, missing explicit market linkage, or unavailable provider data.
The selected label should never replace the note. Two records marked “resolution ambiguity” may involve completely different clauses, deadlines, or authorities. Write one or two sentences naming the exact uncertainty and the source or market text that created it. Avoid labels such as “bad signal” that imply an objective model verdict. The stored confidence context is deterministic workflow information, not calibrated probability or investment advice.
Later review can ask whether rejection reasons were consistently applied, but it must respect the historical record. Use the price and evidence available at decision time, then label later observations separately. A market moving after rejection does not prove the process failed; the unavailable liquidity, ambiguous condition, or concentration concern may still have made no action reasonable. Likewise, a favorable resolution does not prove every similar future record deserves approval.
Include sample size, category, source coverage, and missing data when summarizing rejection patterns. Compare like with like and keep public-wallet positions separate from paper orders. If a rejected record never received a paper entry, do not manufacture hypothetical profit and loss. The journal can show the subsequent market price as context without pretending the workspace held an executable position or captured the displayed move.
Select a regular sample of recent rejects and ask whether each explanation is specific, whether the market ID is correct, and whether the evidence link was explicit. Recheck source failures and alert delivery separately; a missing notification should not be confused with weak evidence. If wording in the product encouraged the wrong interpretation, correct future labels while leaving the earlier audit event intact.
The goal is not to minimize the rejection rate. A healthy workflow makes uncertainty, blocked states, and deliberate no-action visible. Reviewers can refine source lists, watchlists, and policy settings based on documented operational problems, but current controls should not be advertised as a recommendation engine or cumulative capital allocator. The strongest outcome is a journal that explains why a promising-looking record did not become even a simulated order.
When a rejection reason appears repeatedly, inspect the underlying records before changing the workflow. Ten inaccessible copies of one syndicated article point to a different repair than ten independent primary sources with unclear market relevance. Assign the repair to a named owner and record the date when the revised practice begins so later samples retain a clear boundary. The note sample should reveal that distinction and help the owner choose a narrow prospective change without converting historical abstention into a claim about future returns.
Record the explicit market, evidence consulted, trigger and current price context, the primary rejection reason, relevant policy or portfolio state, and the decision time.
No. An in-app rejection is a workspace decision record. It does not change a public-wallet position, cancel venue activity, or permanently disable the market.
No. If the user did not create a paper order, there is no simulated position. Later price observations may be reviewed as context but should not be presented as captured returns.
