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 Jul 20, 2026 3:46 am
Bear FANG trends lower to $185.00 (-5.4% from $195.54) by Jan 2027. ride-then-fade
ThesisFANG trades slightly above composite fair value with mixed signals: bullish oil-tailwind sentiment and analyst consensus support near-term levels, but negative value and quality lenses plus a signal-adjusted FV below spot create gravitational drag over months. Expect a modest early ride on momentum and oil headlines, then a slow fade toward the $185-190 anchor zone.
Invalidated ifA sustained break above $210 on oil spike or below $170 on Permian production disappointment would falsify this mean-reverting 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 $186.17 (-4.8%) — 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 v0.4.0 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.
