Polymarket delay is measured from the first onchain outcome proposal to resolution (UMA challenge window, minimum 2h by protocol). Kalshi delay is settlement_ts - close_time (exact from API), where close_time is the scheduled market close, not the real-world event end. Kalshi auto-generated parlay markets (Exotics) are excluded. Both anchors are lower bounds on total user wait from the real-world event ending.
