dip-then-recover
ThesisNICE trades at a deep discount to fair value with strong quality and consistent earnings beats, but heavy negative sentiment and fallen-angel selling keep near-term pressure on. Expect a shallow dip or drift before value gravity and mean reversion pull the stock higher over the 3-6 month horizon, though full convergence to $197+ is unlikely in the window.
Invalidated ifA break below $92 on rising volume, or a guide-down/negative pre-announcement, would falsify the recovery thesis.

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 $157.60 (+55.8%) — both lines get graded at every checkpoint, so the brain has to beat the formula, not just replace it. Brain: claude-opus-4-7.

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.
