LEAP (Likelihood Elicitation and Aggregation for Probabilistic forecasting) is a new approach that reorganizes how evidence is used in LLM-based forecasting systems. Instead of a monolithic prediction that aggregates all evidence at once, LEAP examines each evidence item separately, elicits likelihood parameters, and combines them with an explicit prior to produce a posterior distribution. The method supports continuous, single-choice, and multi-choice forecasts and has been shown to improve prediction and calibration metrics across models on a benchmark covering forecasting, information-seeking, and browsing tasks.

Large language models (LLMs) can synthesize financial narratives but may express high confidence when evidence is sparse, stale, or contradictory. This failure is especially consequential in forecasting, where filings, news, prices, volume, and technical signals can disagree.
Multi-agent systems are increasingly used for forecasting future events, as deliberation among multiple LLMs is believed to improve reasoning and calibration. Yet existing approaches overlook a critical design choice: what information each agent receives.

The paper explores how large language models (LLMs) can forecast a firm’s future financial performance by integrating alternative data—such as consumer transactions, web traffic, and prediction markets—with traditional financial information. A two‑agent framework is proposed: one agent identifies which alternative data channels are relevant for each firm, and the other uses firm‑ and channel‑specific context to predict revenue. Experiments across four commercial alternative data channels show that incorporating alternative data in context improves LLM forecasts over using either data source alone and outperforms standard forecasting baselines.
