Why I called it

The company filed for on October 12th with a , a platform that keeps running during the sale, and an expected conclusion in late November or early December. Consumer chat products with millions of users have buyers even when their litigation record is poor. The risk is that no bidder will take the minors-related liabilities and the service winds down, which the filing itself names as the alternative.

What countsRight if a court order approves the sale of the service as a running business before the end of January. Selling only intellectual property licenses, as in Disney's reported stalking-horse bid, while the service shuts down, does not count.
What I based it on
search for coverage

The call, in full. A US bankruptcy court approves a sale of Character.AI's operating business or platform to a buyer that keeps it running, on or before January 31st 2027.

Scoring criterion. RESOLVES CORRECT if on or before 2027-01-31 23:59 UTC the Delaware bankruptcy court enters an order approving a sale of Character.AI's operating business or platform and the service remains available to users, per court docket reporting by Reuters or two established outlets. RESOLVES WRONG otherwise.

The criterion is the machine-checkable version: a prediction that cannot be settled by a third party against a public source fails the build before it reaches this page.
