ride-then-fade
ThesisAMAT is trading 4-5x any reasonable fair value on AI cap-ex euphoria, but strong quality, no near-term earnings catalyst, and a neutral regime mean gravity works slowly. Expect choppy consolidation with a gradual fade as the narrative gets tested and the prior miss (down 13% vs flat call) shows momentum is already cracking.
Invalidated ifA decisive break above $560 on renewed AI cap-ex upgrades, or conversely a break below $430 accelerating the mean-reversion thesis faster than modeled.

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 $435.45 (-14.2%) — 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.
