Perfidious Analysis Market one step closer to reality
In a high powered strategy session, negotiators from the Ministry and Spiral Dive reached broad agreement on the shape of the new Perfidious Analysis Market. Spiral Dive will provide the heavy programming muscle, while the Ministry will provide the in depth geopolitical/historical/cultural knowledge needed to bring this concept to reality.
The new PAM will be similar in broad outline to the Policy Analysis Market proposed by DARPA not too long ago. Like the original PAM, traders will be able to trade in futures contracts based on real world events. Unlike the DARPA PAM, we will (sadly) not be using real money due to the interference of other ministries. However, we will offer a significantly larger array of issues for trading - issues will not be limited to the Middle East, but instead will encompass most regions of the globe.
The Ministry will make periodic announcements as work on this important project progresses. This message from the Minister of Minor Perfidy: Thank you for your cooperation!
