The public operational record of CERES: every alert issued and every prediction logged for grading, in numbers, with sources, updated automatically from live data. Forward accuracy is graded as observed IPC outcomes are published.
Standard humanitarian early warning systems issue effective alerts 30-45 days before crisis thresholds. Pre-positioning food aid and mobilising emergency logistics requires 60-90 days minimum. CERES is designed to close that gap.
CERES issues 90-day horizon predictions, each carrying a calibrated probability, a 90% sensitivity interval, and named driver causes. Every prediction is timestamped on issue and graded against IPC Phase 3+ outcomes when the T+90 date arrives.
The first T+90 grading windows opened June 2026, and observed IPC outcomes publish on a 2 to 4 month lag, so grading trails the horizon. Current figures against the pre-registered targets are below, read live from the verification ledger.
Every CERES prediction carries a T+90 grading date. When that date arrives, we compare our probabilistic forecast against the IPC phase classification published by OCHA, FEWS NET, or the IPC Global Platform for that region.
Predictions are graded on: (1) whether our predicted tier matches the observed IPC phase, (2) whether the actual outcome fell within our 90% sensitivity interval, and (3) our Brier score, the standard probabilistic calibration metric used in meteorological forecasting.
This ledger is public, permanent, and updated automatically. We do not remove incorrect predictions. View the full ledger →
