dip-then-recover
ThesisKNSL trades far below composite fair value with strong quality and a 5/5 beat streak, but sentiment is deeply negative and the specialty P&C cohort is de-rating on soft-cycle fears. Near-term drift stays soft with no catalyst, then value gravity and Q3/Q4 prints gradually pull the price higher, though full convergence to $600+ within 6 months is unlikely.
Invalidated ifA break below $300 on weak premium growth or a specialty P&C reserve charge would falsify the recovery 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 $626.64 (+73.9%) — 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.
