Bull (15%)+24%

Base (55%)-40%

Multiple contracts to 10x forward revenue as growth slows, exit value $16.5B (20% decline). With 20% dilution, net downside 40%.

Bear (30%)-80%

Multiple compresses to 5x on competitive pressure and slower adoption; exit $8.25B (60% decline). After dilution, net downside 80%.
