PROBLEM: LACK OF RELIABLE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE FUTURE
big data does not equal big insights
traditional business intelligence is backward-looking instead of forward looking
overwhelming amounts of data make it impossible to separate the signal from the noise
low forecasting accuracy hinders risk identification, evaluation and mitigation
who to listen to for accurate assessments?
the necessary information, experience and intuition is already held by some individuals within every organization
however, there is no way to unlock this information spread across all layers
© 2015 MITCH & MORGAN INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 4
SOLUTION: UNLOCK PRIVATE INFORMATION THROUGH WISDOM OF THE CROWDS
the wisdom of the crowds
the many together know more than any individual - if there is a structured way for them to share their information
a smart prediction market mechanism unlocks private information by rewarding those with correct assessments
over time, successful experts accumulate more market power, making them even more influential
for any prediction, a real-time price discovery process provides powerful forecasts with full probability distributions

VALUE ADDED PREDICTION SCHEMA
Identify events & predict KPIs
Anticipate slippage in business metrics
Mitigate operational, market, and credit risks
The three main value drivers of prediction markets are identification, anticipation and mitigation of business events, KPI under-fulfillment and associated risks
© 2015 MITCH & MORGAN INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 15
HEDGING BUSINESS RISKS – A FINANCE EXAMPLE
E.g. Will there be claims from
the new product?
1. Binary: Yes/No
Claims & Settlement
2. Range:
What amount do we need to
make provisions
for?
Claim categories
3. Multivariate: Asking why
Prospect liabilities
Consulting liabilities
Technical liabilities
Credit liabilities
A typical cadence would be to ask the market, 1. whether a KPI target will be hit or missed / an event take place or not, then 2. ask for specific ranges & proceed to 3. multivariate options as to why the metrics will be under-fulfilled or outperformed.
© 2015 MITCH & MORGAN INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 16
BOTTOM-LINE IMPACT: REDUCING CLAIMS FOR NEW PRODUCTS
IDENTIFY PROSPECT & CONSULTANCY RISKS • Financial consultants know the risks that stem from newly created
products • Identify the potential risks by asking your staff that handles those
products every day in customer meetings
PLAN PROVISIONS AND UPDATE PROSPECTS • Every new product carries certain risks • Prediction markets allow you to plan provisions and identify potential
risks stemming from product prospects and consultancy
MITIGATE RISKS FROM LIABILITIES • By identifying prospectus risks and the potential number of claims,
issuers can plan and mitigate associated risks by understanding them earlier and acting on the insights the market provides
• Information that is not available anywhere else
This client asked to be confidential: We predicted potential claims, settlements and liabilities from new finance products

MARKET EXPERTS 100+ bitcoin investors
participate in the market to predict the bitcoin prices
for the next three months
INCENTIVES The users with the most
accurate predictions receive bitcoins at the
end of each cycle
VOTES All users place votes weekly and all data
is aggregated against the intended
timeline, here: quarterly
BITCOIN PRICES In order to make hardware
investments that are remunerated in bitcoins – at least in part – investors want to know where the
prices will be in the future
OVERVIEW: BITCOIN USE CASE The bitalo predictions platform is for Bitcoin investors who make large hardware investments and receive bitcoins in return – depending on the bitcoin price movements, they need to time their hardware purchases in order to maximize their returns
© 2015 MITCH & MORGAN INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 18
OPEN VOTES 100 bitcoin investors place weekly votes which are then aggregated to a 12 week
average, as investors’ hardware investments largely depend on the expected bitcoin prices
PREDICTION PROGRESSION All weekly predictions show the vote development over time, charts can be grouped against any timeline
BITCOIN USE CASE: HOW INVESTORS TIME THEIR HARDWARE PURCHASES
Bitcoin Price at 3/22/15
Prediction Vs. Actual Value:
100,5 Vs. 99
© 2015 MITCH & MORGAN INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 19
BOTTOM-LINE IMPACT: TIMING HARDWARE INVESTMENTS TO MAXIMIZE RETURNS
FORECASTING PRICES AND PRICE MOVEMENTS • This group of bitcoin investors puts their heads together in order to
have the most accurate price prediction • Price movements pose potential risks as the returns from botcoin-
related hardware purchases depend largely on the bitcoin price
PLANNING HARDWARE INVESTMENTS • Bitcoin investors need to plan their bitcoin-related hardware
purchases/investments depending on bitcoin prices • Proper timing is crucial in order to maximize returns
MAXIMIZING RETURNS FROM HARDWARE PURCHASES • By anticipating price movements investors expedite or defer their
planned hardware purchases/investments • The best timing allows them to maximize their returns from hardware
purchases in terms of bitcoin value
In this Bitcoin case the users benefit from timing their hardware investments properly and thus maximizing bitcoin-related returns

EKOMI USE CASE: HOW OCCUPANCY RATE OPTIMIZATION INCREASED ROI
$48k Revenue added through
managing occupancy rates in correct languages and
SLAs effectively

reviews in what language & SLA will we
need to manage?
$261K Annual losses through
under-fulfilled occupancy rates in the feedback
management department

BOTTOM-LINE IMPACT: PAYROLL SAVINGS
INCOMING REVIEW STREAMS • Prediction of incoming review streams per month & quarter • Break-down by positive/negative reviews, time zones/
countries, languages, SLAs, feature requests
WORKFORCE SCHEDULE • Scheduling customer feedback managers in respective
languages and time zones with feature-related skill-levels • Safeguard to stay compliant with Service Level Agreements
MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY RATE • Optimal occupancy in terms of review language, time zone,
SLA and feature requirements • High payroll savings due to maximum efficient occupancy
We predicted incoming reviews that allowed for maximum occupancy rate planning in respective languages and SLAs

VARIANCE With a variance to median of 90% the
variance of the prediction against the actual value amounts to only 1,52%, which is
highly accurate considering the small sample size of only 19 participants.
PREDICTION Vs. ACTUAL VALUE With a predicted value of 100,5 scheduled BW applications against the actual number of 99 application run the prediction accuracy is 98,48%.
OVERVIEW: BASF USE CASE
1,52%
Number of BW Applications? According to the normal distribution, it becomes evident that private information holders outweighed incorrect forecasts through precise votes with high stakes in the market. Total votes resulted in a most accurate prediction against the median.
Prediction Vs. Actual Value:
100,5 Vs. 99
BASF is one of the largest chemical engineering companies in the world and forecasted several IT metrics with phenomenal results using our solution
© 2015 MITCH & MORGAN INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 24
BOTTOM-LINE IMPACT: APPLICATION MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY INCREASED
BW APPLICATIONS • Prediction of anticipated number of run Business Ware (BW)
applications per week • Accurate prediction of total weekly BW applications run helped to
optimize server management
SCHEDULING DOWNTIME AND MAINTAINENCE • Depending on the anticipated number of applications run, BASF
adapted downtime and maintenance schedules • Maintenance sessions were postponed when large projects with
significant application processing required 100% uptime
MAXIMIZING UPTIME • Being able to plan server occupancy, allowed BASF to ensure
application uptime for important projects • By minimizing downtime, BASF generated significant cost savings
by saving time and thus increasing production efficiency
BASF managed to plan data warehouse server occupancies more accurately and schedule maintenance sessions accordingly
