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 1:32 am
Bear BUD trends lower to $77.00 (-9.0% from $84.59) by Feb 2027. ride-then-fade
ThesisBUD trades above composite fair value near $72-76, but low-beta defensive character, four straight EPS beats, and a risk-on tape with World Cup narrative support near-term drift higher before valuation gravity pulls it back toward the mid-70s over the six-month horizon.
Invalidated ifA break above $90 on volume or below $78 would falsify the mean-reversion glidepath; a sharp EUR/EM FX shock would accelerate the fade.

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 $83.79 (-0.9%) — 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.
