A practical guide to read-only price, spread, depth, and evidence review in TEMIRIN using configured records, explicit market identity, current controls, and human review.

A displayed price is meaningful only when the reviewer knows which market, outcome token, and contract wording it belongs to. Open the configured watchlist market and verify its question, yes or no side, closing condition, and resolution source. Similar titles can hide different dates or thresholds. Record the market identifier and observation time beside every price panel so a value copied into a note or export cannot drift away from the contract it describes.
TEMIRIN uses public market data for research context and derives opportunity records from the configured watchlist. Evidence appears beside a market through a supported explicit identifier that the reviewer can verify against the exact outcome and contract wording. These boundaries should be visible before any interpretation begins because a perfectly measured spread on the wrong outcome is still the wrong evidence for the review.
The best bid is the highest visible buying interest and the best ask is the lowest visible selling interest at the observation time. Their difference is the quoted spread. A midpoint can summarize that gap, but it is not necessarily a price available to either side. When the spread is wide, a midpoint may move even if no participant can trade meaningful size there. Label the field used rather than presenting every number as “the market price.”
Compare the opportunity’s preserved trigger price with a later current-price field only after confirming how each observation was recorded. The difference is useful for studying changed context and the configured price-move guard. It is not a realized return, a promise of entry, or evidence that the trigger caused the repricing. Show timestamps and unavailable states so a stale quote is not granted the same status as a recent book observation.
Visible depth describes quantities displayed at price levels in the public order book at a point in time. Review the levels near the best bid and ask and note how quickly price worsens as hypothetical size increases. A single top-of-book value can make a market appear liquid while little quantity is available behind it. Conversely, displayed depth can change or disappear before an outside order reaches the venue, so it remains observation rather than an execution guarantee.
If a user later creates a paper order, the entered notional is checked against implemented per-order, rolling twenty-four-hour, per-market exposure, and portfolio-concentration rules. Keep bid, ask, spread, and visible-depth observations separate from that policy result. A reviewer can record a manual book observation in the journal while keeping the paper entry explicitly simulated and distinct from activity at Polymarket.
For each linked evidence record, show the publisher or provider, canonical URL or reference, observed time, supplied publication time when available, and the exact claim relevant to the contract. Configured RSS and web ingestion can canonicalize and deduplicate content; provider-configured Telegram and X readers retain their own source context. A count of records is not a vote, and operational collection success does not prove that the claim is accurate.
Reviewers should distinguish primary material, independent reporting, syndicated repetition, preliminary information, and correction. TEMIRIN’s deterministic briefs organize stored fields, while the human note records support, conflict, or unresolved context. Market price can react to information outside the configured source set, so disagreement between evidence and price should prompt direct inspection.
A reviewer can write a journal note and record an in-app approve or reject action after inspecting market structure and evidence. The configured price-move guard may block the authenticated decision if current price differs too much from its saved context. Email, Telegram, Slack, and webhook attempts remain notification records, with delivery status and manual retry in their own ledger.
If the user enters a paper order, preserve its simulated entry, notional, pass or block results, and later mark-to-market separately from the trigger reference. Analytics and export can support process review across accepted, rejected, blocked, and no-action cases. They cannot establish real fills or venue performance. Every capital decision and transaction still occurs outside TEMIRIN, subject to the user’s own verification, eligibility, risk tolerance, and venue access.
A practical review worksheet can include market ID, outcome side, trigger observation, best bid and ask, quoted spread, selected visible depth levels, linked source URLs, current policy reason, and reviewer disposition. Mark each unavailable field instead of estimating it. Repeat the worksheet across a small range of liquid and thin markets, then compare where the same headline price hid different book conditions. This teaches the team to inspect inputs consistently while keeping every interpretation and user-entered paper amount attributable to a person.
When a market has multiple outcomes or complementary tokens, repeat the identity check for the exact side shown in the book panel. Do not assume that subtracting one displayed value from one reconstructs every quote condition on the other side. Save the source field names used in the review. This extra care prevents outcome inversion from contaminating evidence notes, paper comparisons, and exported research summaries.
Not necessarily. It is a calculation between the best visible bid and ask. Spread, available depth, timing, and order size affect execution at the venue.
No. Public order-book depth is a point-in-time observation and can change or disappear before any outside transaction.
Implemented paper checks cover the user-entered notional, rolling twenty-four-hour total, per-market exposure, and portfolio concentration.
No. Stored provenance and market context support human review; they do not prove mispricing or forecast a market outcome.
