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.

flat-then-break
ThesisNICE trades well below composite fair value with strong quality and consistent earnings beats, but heavy negative sentiment and a fallen-angel overhang cap near-term upside. Expect a slow grind higher as value gravity pulls toward the mid-$130s over six months, with sentiment fade allowing modest re-rating rather than a snap-back to the $155+ deterministic endpoint.
Invalidated ifA break below $95 on heavy volume or a fresh guidance cut invalidates the recovery path; conversely a fast move above $140 without catalyst overshoots this thesis.

Grind toward prior prediction endpoint, short of DCF
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
$155.17
(+49.2%)
— both lines get graded at every checkpoint, so the brain has to beat the formula, not just replace it.
