The Purpose page provides a better look at the reasons why it would be helpful to have a common platform researchers can use to gather predictions as to the effects their studies will find.

There are many existing prediction markets. We think there is value in each approach but want to focus on getting independent estimates from different agents. In a prediction market, respondents would be able to view each other’s best guesses before making their own prediction, and this could lead to biases.
