Data: Kalshi (KalshiEX LLC) — contract ladders referenced to the Ornn hourly index, snapshot OCT 16 2026 · 11:51 UTC. Nothing is smoothed: each monthly value is its own ladder’s estimate. The lines and bid/ask bands join only quality-passed points; gaps are hollow at their level, unplotted without one; no forward point is current spot or executable.

Daily class aggregates from published Neon quote snapshots, archived through 2026-10-14; their citable series IDs, with each comparison-policy version, are under Cite. A day or class without a comparable quote stays a gap — never interpolated; a median on fewer than 3 venues is drawn as its range (a vertical bar), never as a point on the line, and the tooltip and table view print that range.
