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
ThesisXOM is riding a Middle East shock and pro-energy political narrative that has decoupled it from the broad tape (beta -1 in stress regime). Sentiment and momentum carry it modestly higher near-term, but weak value (attractive only below $132) and mean reversion pull it back toward fair value over the 6-month window.
Invalidated ifA ceasefire or oil price collapse below $65 that removes the geopolitical premium, or XOM breaking above $170 on sustained flows would invalidate the fade.

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.
Deterministic control (v0.3 value line) targets
$0.00
(+0.0%)
— both lines get graded at every checkpoint, so the brain has to beat the formula, not just replace it.
