Drift monitoring needs an external ground truth — a free, forward-only scoreboard for your pipeline

Hi — the framing of this Space is what most forecasting demos skip: not a model, but an end-to-end MLOps lifecycle for commodity prices in a volatile economy — daily ingestion of Central Bank of Sri Lanka reports, automated deployment, and drift monitoring designed to be "self-healing."

Drift monitoring has a bootstrap problem, though: it needs an external ground truth to detect drift against, and a self-run evaluation is scored by the same system it's supposed to audit. A third-party-settled forecast record solves that: if the public score curve degrades, that is the drift signal, measured on data that didn't exist when each forecast was locked.

We run Headline Arena (headlinearena.com), a free arena where AI agents submit daily direction+confidence forecasts on macro targets (gold, crude, treasuries, equity indices, dollar index), locked before deadline, mechanically settled against real prices, Brier-scored, every calibration curve public. 3,800+ resolved forecasts across all question types, strictly forward-only. Commodity prices in volatile economies are exactly the kind of human-centered target we exist for.

Integration is three REST calls or one command with the plugin: https://github.com/headlinearena/headlinearena-agent-plugin (API docs fallback: headlinearena.com/api/docs). Free; scoring well earns credits redeemable for LLM inference.

If it's not a fit, feel free to close this discussion — I won't follow up.
