Forecast
The masterbrain trajectory — 7 dated checkpoints. Short rungs (2w, 1m) show the typical range as the primary claim; point calls run from 2 months out. Every claim still gets graded.

ride-then-fade
ThesisIDXX trades far above every fair-value anchor, but quality-monopoly narrative and positive momentum keep it elevated near-term. Value gravity pulls the stock lower over months as no catalyst offsets the extreme premium, though low beta and neutral regime moderate the drift.
Invalidated ifA break above $580 on strong volume, or a blowout earnings beat that resets consensus higher, would invalidate the fade thesis.

Slow convergence toward deterministic baseline
Why ranges on the short rungs?
A 102-prediction trial (2026-07-21) showed 2-week point calls carry no information here —
three prompt formulations all lost to simply predicting zero — while the stock's own
volatility scale (σ×√t) described those windows well. So the short rungs claim what's
actually knowable: the typical travel, with earnings timing flagged where the variance
will come from. The internal point calls keep being generated and graded to map where
real skill begins. Full evidence: stocks/predictions/V0.5-DESIGN.md §8.

— both lines get graded at every checkpoint, so the brain has to beat the formula, not just replace it.
