Timeline Estimation Test

This is a tool for doing equivalent bet tests — a technique that helps you calibrate your predictions by comparing them to a chance wheel.

Two ways to win $10M: (1) if your timeline estimate is correct, or (2) spin a wheel with the same odds.

If you prefer the wheel, you're overconfident. If you prefer betting on your timeline, you're underconfident. Adjust until both feel equal.
