The Science Gap

The Science Gap = expert scientific conviction − what the market has priced. Feasibility comes from our frontier-scientist panel (minimum 15 dated claims per field); priced-in is the trade-extension percentile of each field's liquid proxy basket over 10 years. A wide positive gap means the science and the trade disagree — and the science is the optimist. A wide negative gap means the trade has run ahead of what the science supports.

Insufficient science sample — not published

We don't print a feasibility number from fewer than 15 panel claims. These get a Gap when the sample matures.

The frontier with no vehicle yet

High scientific feasibility, no clean public-market expression. The most interesting list on the page — when a vehicle appears, the Gap is born wide.
