Business Plan and Case Studies
The Statstrade business plan describes The Prediction Network: a social network designed to deepen immersion in the places, groups and causes that shape people's identities.
The plan is built around five ideas:
- Communities shape people. People shape communities. Neither exists without the other.
- Connection has expanded in layers. Email connected people. Social media connected communities. The Prediction Network connects communities to futures.
- A future does not just happen. It gathers believers.
- Every meaningful community is trying to create a future that does not yet exist.
- Support is investment, not accountability. The language of surveillance and blame is replaced by collective belonging and shared stake.
Structured prediction is the mechanism that makes belief about a community's future visible, connects belief to reasoning and action, and gives contribution memory over time.
The PDFs on this page are generated from the LaTeX sources under docs/business-plan whenever the documentation site is built.

Source and publication
The main document is generated from docs/business-plan/business-plan.tex. Each case study is generated from its corresponding file under docs/business-plan/case-studies/.
Central CI copies the resulting PDFs into docs-gen/static/documents/business-plan/ before Docusaurus builds the production site. Broken or missing PDF links therefore fail the documentation build rather than appearing silently in production.
