Interactive visualization: The Economist's prediction accuracy (2000-2026)
Summary
This is an interactive data visualization companion piece to an article about The Economist's prediction accuracy. It presents a scatter plot of predictions made in The Economist's leaders from 2000-2026, scored by an LLM (GPT-5.5) on two axes: accuracy and out-of-consensus rating. Users can hover over data points to see individual predictions, click to pin details, and navigate through predictions from mainstream to boldest. The piece is primarily a visual tool rather than a standalone article.
