Research notes that keep the denominator attached.
Polytrack publishes code-reviewed notes on how to interpret monitored trades, severity, wallet activity, aggregates, rankings, and alert delivery. Each note names its sources, states what the evidence can support, and preserves the limitations that should travel with any quotation.
A useful alert system reduces a large stream to a smaller review queue. It does not turn unusual activity into proof. This note explains the reasoning boundary behind Polytrack severity labels and the checks a reader should make after a record is flagged.
A wallet address is a research key—not a verified identity.
Wallet-level research is valuable because one address can connect trades, positions, and repeated patterns. The same convenience creates an attribution trap. This note separates address-level evidence from claims about people, teams, services, or ownership.
Aggregates become misleading when their denominator disappears. This note defines the difference between volume in Polytrack's monitored records and total Polymarket activity, then gives a checklist for reading rankings and trends consistently.
Telegram alerts have a delivery chain, not an instant promise.
“Real-time alert” language can hide several independent systems. Polytrack instead documents the path from upstream availability to ingestion, classification, eligibility, Telegram delivery, and the subscriber's device so users know what a message can and cannot promise.
