Platform guides
A familiar headline can hide a very different contract. Our Polymarket and Kalshi guides focus on the details that make a comparison meaningful: the exact question, resolution source, deadline, market structure, and terms attached to the product.
Begin with the guide for the platform you are researching, then use the comparison framework to check whether two markets actually describe the same event.

Platform products and documentation can change; use the official source identified in each article to confirm the current rules before relying on a detail.
