Research explainers

This is a small set of evergreen research notes, not a news feed and not a tipster blog. Each page explains one public contract: sealed proof, the difference between a research desk and a tipster, or what the Market Scanner is allowed to be on the open web.

Nothing here is a pick, a lock, or a “best bet.” Public match pages stay contextual. Scanner output stays in-account. Settlement stays post-match.

ExplainerPublishedWhat it covers
How the SHA-256 seal works Sealed betting proof: how ThesisBet's SHA-256 commit-reveal works — morning fingerprint, X timestamp, post-match reveal, and how to recompute the hash from the canonical payload.
Research desk vs tipster How to verify a tipster against a football research desk: public picks and hype versus no public pre-match picks, a SHA-256 seal, and post-match settlement.
What the Market Scanner is What ThesisBet's Market Scanner is: operator-set profiles and confluence search whose output stays in-account — not a public signal or tips feed.
