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
ThesisPost-earnings momentum and analyst upgrades in a risk-on tape keep WSM firm to slightly higher near-term, but stretched valuation (fair value ~$95, DCF ~$106) exerts gradual gravity as the sentiment tailwind fades over the multi-month horizon, pulling the stock modestly lower toward the deterministic baseline.
Invalidated ifA decisive break above $255 on continued upgrades, or a break below $215 that confirms momentum failure, would invalidate this fade path.

Fade toward deterministic baseline as sentiment dissolves
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
$213.14
(-9.3%)
— both lines get graded at every checkpoint, so the brain has to beat the formula, not just replace it.
