dip-then-recover
ThesisNICE trades at a deep discount to composite fair value ($207) with strong quality (80/100) and 5-of-5 earnings beats, but heavy negative sentiment and a fresh 5.9% drop suggest near-term drift lower before value gravity pulls it higher over the 6-month window. The path is dip-then-recover: sentiment dominates the first month, then mean reversion and earnings catalysts drive a gradual climb well short of the deterministic $164 endpoint.
Invalidated ifA break below $85 on rising volume, or a guidance cut/miss on the next earnings print, would invalidate the recovery thesis.

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 $163.64 (+65.5%) — both lines get graded at every checkpoint, so the brain has to beat the formula, not just replace it. Brain: claude-opus-4-7.
