Purpose
PolyCerno Research exists to answer practical questions about Polymarket BTC 5-minute markets with enough detail that a reader can understand the mechanism, verify the source and apply the idea independently. It is not a general crypto-news publication.
Authorship
Articles are published by PolyCerno Research. The project does not invent individual author identities. Where specialist review or an outside contribution is used, it will be identified accurately.
Source hierarchy
We prefer primary sources: the market’s own rules and identifiers, official platform and API documentation, named reference feeds, public blockchain records and directly observed order-book or trade data. Secondary reporting is used only when it adds necessary context and is labeled accordingly.
Facts, calculations and interpretation
Source facts, PolyCerno calculations and analytical interpretation are kept distinguishable. Illustrative numbers are labeled as examples. Historical observations include the relevant window or method context and are not presented as a guarantee of future performance.
Data quality
Missing data is not replaced with zero. Retained values should carry age and status. Conflicting sources remain visible when the conflict matters. We use states such as verified, provisional, stale, conflict and unavailable to avoid false precision.
Corrections and updates
Material corrections update the article’s modified date and, where necessary, explain what changed. Dates are not changed merely to make an article appear fresh. Source, fee, API and market-rule changes are reviewed when they affect a published conclusion.
Automation and AI assistance
Automation and AI-assisted tools may help organize research, compare drafts, test links or improve clarity. Published claims remain subject to human review against the cited source and PolyCerno’s implementation. Automated output is not treated as evidence by itself.
Commercial relationship
Research may link to PolyCerno’s paid BTC 5-min product. Commercial relevance does not change the sourcing standard, and articles do not publish fabricated results or guaranteed-return claims to promote a subscription.
