How Classification Works

The categorizeMarket() function scans the market title and description against keyword lists. Markets that don't match any specific category fall into "Other".

src/lib/categories.ts

// Simplified example of keyword matching
function categorizeMarket(title: string, description: string): Category {
  const text = `${title} ${description}`.toLowerCase();

  if (POLITICS_KEYWORDS.some(k => text.includes(k))) return 'Politics';
  if (CRYPTO_KEYWORDS.some(k => text.includes(k)))   return 'Crypto';
  if (SPORTS_KEYWORDS.some(k => text.includes(k)))    return 'Sports';
  // ...
  return 'Other';
}
