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.

ride-then-fade
ThesisMPC is riding a hot refining/Hormuz-risk tape with strong momentum (80% trailing 6mo) and sits well below composite fair value near $700. Near-term the sentiment and cohort strength should extend the rally, then digestion sets in, but value gravity plus a still-supportive backdrop keeps the drift higher toward the deterministic baseline over 6 months.
Invalidated ifA collapse in refining crack spreads or resolution of Hormuz risk premium sending MPC back below $340, or a broad risk-off regime shift.

Drift toward deterministic baseline endpoint
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
$514.94
(+32.7%)
— both lines get graded at every checkpoint, so the brain has to beat the formula, not just replace it.
