The AV universe

Bear, Base + Bull are operating outcomes. A “priced in” label appears only when a dated model or expectations backsolve supports it.

Methodology

Underwriting the range.

Each case is a compact operating thesis that should be defensible w/ filings, deployment data, unit econ or other strong evidence if pressed.

01

Bear

The core failure mode. What breaks, commoditizes or consumes too much capital?

02

Base

The most plausible path from today’s evidence, incl. real execution friction.

03

Bull

The upside case if tech, distribution + retained econ all work.

“Priced in” applies only to public securities and reflects the parent stock where relevant. Labels require an underwriting- or decision-grade model, a dated price, an explicit expectations method + a reproducible mapping to Bear, Base or Bull. Companies without that work simply carry no pricing label. A label is not a recommendation. Commercial packs use public issuer, regulatory and exchange information plus clearly labeled Terminal Miles assumptions. They contain no personal, portfolio or private-message research.

Research in public

Think a case is wrong?

Good. DMs are open. Bring a filing, a datapoint or a better model.
