This file and both pages carry OpenTimestamps proofs (.ots files beside them):
each SHA-256 is committed into a Merkle tree whose root is anchored in a
Bitcoin block header - a timestamp secured by proof-of-work that no party,
including the author, can alter or backdate. A step-by-step beginner guide to
verifying lives on the-final-forecast.html itself. Or: ots verify <file>.ots
