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.

dip-then-recover
ThesisBTI trades below composite fair value with a fat yield anchor and defensive beta, but risk-on tape and fallen-angel sentiment cap near-term upside. Expect a slow grind toward the $62-64 signal-adjusted zone as value gravity outweighs sentiment drag over 6 months.
Invalidated ifA break below $55 on regulatory or ZYN-category news, or failure to reclaim $60 by m3, would falsify the value-convergence path.

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
$64.08
(+9.1%)
— both lines get graded at every checkpoint, so the brain has to beat the formula, not just replace it.

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.
