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. Predicted Aug 5, 2026 1:47 am
Bear SHOP trends lower to $108.00 (-12.4% from $123.30) by Feb 2027. ride-then-fade
ThesisSHOP trades at ~5x fair value but momentum, AI-payments narrative, and risk-on tape support near-term drift higher before value gravity reasserts. Expect a modest ride-then-fade over the six-month window, ending well above baseline fair value but below current levels as multiple compression bites.
Invalidated ifA break above 140 on sustained volume or below 105 would invalidate the mild-fade path; regime flip to risk-off accelerates downside.

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 $104.51 (-15.2%) — both lines get graded at every checkpoint, so the brain has to beat the formula, not just replace it. Brain: claude-opus-4-7.

Not Yet Modeled

What this v0.6.0 forecast deliberately ignores — the work ahead, in plain sight.
  • Scenario probabilities — one path, no bull/bear split (base_prob = 1.0).
  • Intraday / sub-2-week behaviour — the first claim is at 14 days by design (EOD product).
  • Position sizing / portfolio context — the path is a price claim only.
