How Kelly grades analyst picks
Every published pick from the analysts Kelly follows is graded at 1 unit from final results, with closing line value and a test that only lets records that hold up across the field read as beating the market.

In short
- Kelly reads the podcasts, videos, articles and posts of the analysts it follows and writes down every pick.
- Every pick is graded at 1 unit, at the price the analyst said, from final results.
- Every analyst is tested together, so only records that hold up across the whole field read "beats the market so far". Analysts under 100 priced, decided picks read "not enough picks yet".
- A misread pick is corrected in place; a removed pick is counted as removed.
