0 blocking · 2 degraded · 1 note — follow the chain top-down (cause → effect).
  • Degraded
    Valuation is extremely fragile — almost no scenarios support the current price

Not Yet Modeled

What this v0.3.0 forecast deliberately ignores — the work ahead, in plain sight.
  • Signal-adjusted fair value ($15.64) — the red-flag-adjusted anchor isn't the primary input yet (we use the raw DCF/composite blend, which double-counts DCF).
  • Recent momentum / drift — the line takes off straight; the trailing 6-month move (24.4%) doesn't bend the slope.
  • Market beta — computed (1–5mo) for context but does not condition the path.
  • Earnings dates, catalysts, and known events — not modeled.
  • Macro regime & sector rotation — not modeled.
  • Horizon is a fixed 6-month assumption, not a modeled time-to-target.
  • Outcome scoring — predictions aren't yet graded against realized price once the evaluation date passes.
