At the top right of the app, Calibration & Training offers a worked example, practice at giving honest ranges, and a record of how your own forecasts turned out. It scores how often your ranges actually contained the truth.Experts’ track records feed back into how much weight their future answers get in research.
The account menu can turn on the specialist view. It reveals extra detail such as distribution shapes and numerical error margins. It never changes a number.
Analyst tools → Review & audit shows evidence, versions, runs, comments and memos. Memos can only be written from a current, saved run, in a plain version for managers and a detailed version for specialists.
