Run-by-run detail

The fund's full reasoning for each scoring run, in its own words. More technical than the plain-English summary above.

2026-07-14 92 -2

ANET has the classic winning-pattern setup we missed before: sustained bull thesis, strong momentum, and confirmed AI-networking catalysts. Win-Probability sees a clean breakout above $190. But risk_quality of 20 with the stock literally at its 52-week high is the exact 'MRVL trap' our learnings warn about — extended, low-quality-of-entry setup. Thesis_pct at 63 is below the 60 convergence floor comfortably but this doesn't hit the 'great company, great price' bar cleanly. Constructive lean, not a new-buy trigger today.

2026-07-13 94 +12

ANET clears the convergence bar (thesis 63, WP 72) and the specialist read on hyperscaler ethernet buildout is strong with momentum confirming. The learnings explicitly flag ANET as a name we missed by being too cautious — the ensemble is telling us to re-enter. Caveat: risk_quality=20 with price at 52wk high means starter size only, but that's the Sizer's problem, not mine. Forward setup is genuinely strong.

2026-07-12 82 0

Strong momentum and catalyst confirm the AI-networking narrative, but win_probability at 62 falls just under the 65 convergence bar for a new buy. Intrinsic risk_quality is poor at 20 with a 55x PE — exactly the CRWD-style trap the fund learned to avoid. Skip until either a pullback improves setup or WP breaks above 65.

2026-07-11 82 +2

ANET has the best momentum in this batch and a legitimate hyperscaler networking tailwind, but win_probability at 62 sits just under the 65 convergence bar for a new buy, and intrinsic risk_quality is very low at 20 given the 55x PE. This is exactly the CRWD-style setup the learnings warn about — high momentum masking valuation risk with no discrete catalyst. Skip on convergence discipline; revisit if win_prob crosses 65 with a concrete data center capex print.

2026-07-10 80 -4

Bull thesis with momentum confirming and hyperscaler AI networking tailwind is real, but win_probability at 62 fails the 65 convergence bar for new_buy and risk_quality of 20 flags the valuation stretch we saw punish CRWD-style names. Extended runner without a fresh catalyst — pass, don't chase.

2026-07-09 84 +4

Strong momentum and catalyst backdrop, but win_probability at 62 misses the 65 convergence bar for a new buy and thesis at 63 is right at the floor. Intrinsic risk_quality is very poor at 20 given the 55x PE on a stock 11% off highs with -4% weekly action. Extended AI-narrative name without valuation discipline — the CRWD lesson. Constructive but not compelling enough to initiate here.

2026-07-08 80 -4

ANET has beautiful momentum and a valid AI-networking thesis, but win_probability at 62 falls short of the 65 convergence bar for new buys, and risk_quality at 20 flags a premium valuation with no margin of safety. Great company, not great price. Skip until either a pullback improves the win-prob setup or a direct hyperscaler capex catalyst lands.

2026-07-07 84 +5

Strong momentum and constructive AI networking thesis, but win_probability of 62 falls just under the 65 convergence bar for new_buy. Premium valuation at 55x PE echoes the CRWD lesson — high win-prob narratives on expensive names need catalyst confirmation we don't yet have. Constructive but not actionable today.

2026-07-06 79 -3

ANET has the AI networking narrative and momentum is confirming, but win_probability at 62 falls short of the 65 convergence bar for new buys. Valuation is stretched at 55x PE and intrinsic risk quality is poor. Constructive but not enough to force a new entry — wait for either a pullback that resets risk or a stronger win-prob signal.

2026-07-05 82 -5

Constructive bull setup with sector tailwinds from AI networking demand, but win_probability at 63 falls just below the 65 convergence bar for new buys. Momentum is neutral and the stock is well below highs without a clear breakout catalyst. Wait for either a pullback with cleaner risk/reward or a breakout confirming the thesis.

2026-07-04 87 +5

ANET is a quality AI networking name with hyperscaler tailwinds, but at thesis 63 and win-prob 63 it sits right at the convergence threshold — not above it. PE 54 with momentum only at 56 and stock in the middle of its range means we're not getting the breakout setup that worked for MU/MRVL/AMAT. Wait for either a pullback that improves win-prob or a breakout to new highs with a named partnership catalyst.

2026-07-03 82 +2

Constructive AI networking name with hyperscaler tailwinds, but fails the new-buy convergence bar (win_prob=63 < 65). Risk quality is weak (20) and PE is stretched at 54. Below 52wk high with softening momentum — no urgency to initiate here.

2026-06-30 80 +7

Bull setup with hyperscaler AI networking tailwind but win-probability at 63 falls just shy of the 65 convergence bar for a new buy. Risk_quality is poor at 20 and the stock is pulling back rather than breaking out. Constructive but not actionable from watchlist today.

2026-06-29 73 -11

Decent bull thesis but win-prob just below the 65 convergence bar for new buys, and NVIDIA encroaching on datacenter Ethernet is a real competitive signal. Valuation rich and intrinsic risk quality is poor. Constructive enough to watch, not enough to initiate.

2026-06-28 84 -6

ANET sits right at the convergence threshold but lacks a direct company-specific catalyst — only indirect AI networking demand reads. Near 52w-high resistance without a clear breakout trigger means we're paying full price for a setup that hasn't confirmed. Constructive but not core; better to wait for a breakout above $180 with ANET-specific hyperscaler news before initiating.

2026-06-27 90 +11

ANET has a clean bull setup: AI datacenter networking tailwinds, strong catalyst from Ethernet segment ballooning, and price near 52w high. But thesis_pct (66) and win_probability (66) sit right at the convergence threshold without clearly clearing it, and momentum_pct of 44 is unconvincing for a breakout name. Constructive forward view but not enough conviction for a new buy when both gates are barely met. Watch for breakout above $180 to upgrade.

2026-06-26 79 +19

Constructive setup with AI networking tailwinds and proximity to 52wk highs, but win_probability at 66 is right at the convergence bar and momentum percentile of 44 doesn't confirm a breakout yet. Needs a clean move through $180 to warrant adding. Pass for now.

2026-06-25 60 -29

Decent thesis and momentum but the catalyst signal is actively negative — Nvidia's entry into Ethernet switching directly threatens ANET's core data center moat. Win-probability only middling and the stock sits at resistance. Convergence bar not met for new_buy (catalyst_pct=30 is a red flag, not a green light).

2026-06-24 89 +1

ANET is a quality AI networking name with bull setup near 52wk highs and a supportive Cisco/AI-workforce catalyst. But thesis and win-prob both sit at 66 — just below the convergence bar for a new buy. Constructive forward view but not enough convergence to add a new position today.

2026-06-23 88 +2

Constructive setup — AI networking demand is real and price is near 52w highs with positive momentum. But thesis and win-prob are both right at the convergence threshold rather than clearly above it, and the catalyst is only mildly supportive (no direct ANET headline). Without a concrete hyperscaler partnership headline, this doesn't clear the new_buy bar. Watch for breakout above $180.

2026-06-22 86 -5

Constructive AI-networking setup with bull thesis and confirming momentum, but neither thesis nor win-prob clears the convergence bar with margin, and the catalyst is sector-tailwind rather than ticker-specific. Stock quality is decent on a forward basis but doesn't earn a new buy here. Skip.

2026-06-21 91 -1

Bull setup on AI networking with constructive thesis and decent win-probability, but catalyst is generic sector-flow rather than a named hyperscaler deal. Fails the strict new_buy convergence bar (thesis<60 threshold met but catalyst is soft and momentum not breakout-level). Forward view is constructive; wait for a concrete partnership headline before pulling the trigger.

2026-06-20 92 +2

ANET hits the convergence bar (thesis 66, win-prob 71) for a new buy. It's an AI-infrastructure hardware name with momentum confirming and concrete hyperscaler capex tailwinds — exactly the winning pattern we identified (MRVL/MU). Risk specialist's concentration concern is a Sizer issue, not a conviction issue. Per learnings, I'm capping the valuation-based risk penalty when momentum and catalyst align. Constructive but not core given catalyst isn't ANET-specific.

2026-06-19 90 0

Meets convergence bar (thesis 66, win-prob 71) with momentum confirming and a clear AI-data-center networking thesis. Risk specialist flags concentration but that's a sizing concern, not a stock-quality concern. The MRVL-style breakout pattern with sector confirmation argues for action. Capping risk penalty on PE per recent learnings.

2026-06-18 90 -5

Convergence threshold met: thesis 66 and win-prob 71 both clear the bar. Networking infrastructure for AI data centers is exactly the winning pattern — breakout-adjacent, hyperscaler-linked, momentum confirming. Risk specialist's penalty is concentration-driven, which is Sizer's job not mine. Intrinsic risk_quality is low but cap the valuation penalty per ARM lesson — this is a named-AI-infra breakout setup.

2026-06-17 95 0

Clears the convergence bar (thesis 66, win-prob 71) for new_buy. AI-networking infrastructure with momentum at 82 and concrete HPE/AI-production catalyst fits the winning pattern we learned from MRVL. Per recent learnings, we cap the valuation-based risk penalty when there's a named catalyst plus breakout momentum. Concentration concerns are Sizer's call, not mine.

2026-06-16 95 +5

ANET fits the winning pattern from our recent learnings: AI-infrastructure hardware breaking out near 52wk highs with a concrete hyperscaler/Marvell-adjacent catalyst. Thesis 66 and Win-Prob 71 clear the convergence bar. Risk specialist's concentration concern is a portfolio-fit issue, not a stock-quality issue — that's the Sizer's job. Forward setup is strong.

2026-06-15 90 +12

ANET fits the AI-infrastructure momentum profile we've learned to like — networking pick-and-shovel into hyperscaler capex with momentum at 91 and a clean technical setup near highs. Win-probability is solid at 71 and thesis at 66. However, convergence bar for new_buy requires thesis>=60 AND win_prob>=65; both clear, but the catalyst here is only indirect sector tailwind (no Arista-specific hyperscaler headline in last 14d), which is exactly the 'riding thematic tide near highs' pattern that has burned us. I'll keep conviction constructive but not pull the new_buy trigger without a name-specific catalyst.

2026-06-14 78 +8

Strong momentum and a constructive AI-networking thesis, but win-probability is only middling and intrinsic risk_quality is poor at 20. Watchlist name doesn't clear the 60/65 convergence bar for new_buy. Pass for now.

2026-06-14 70 -5

Watchlist name with bull thesis and strong momentum, but win-probability is only 55 and risk_quality is very weak at 20. Fails the convergence bar (need wp >= 65) for new buy. Not compelling enough today vs. cleaner setups.

2026-06-13 75 +16

Watchlist name with decent thesis but win-probability below the 65 convergence bar for new buys. Down 14% from highs without a stabilizing catalyst, and adding would worsen semi concentration. Pass for now — wait for either earnings re-rate or a clearer base.

2026-06-12 59 -20

Watchlist name with neither thesis nor win-probability clearing the new-buy convergence bar (need thesis>=60 AND win_prob>=65). Risk agent flags severe sector concentration. Skip until earnings catalyst materializes or valuation resets further.

2026-06-11 79 +2

ANET has a real catalyst and AI-networking tailwind, but Win-Probability at 55 falls short of the 65 threshold required for a new buy. Down 7% on the week with PE 52x — wait for either a better entry or stronger Win-Prob confirmation.

2026-06-10 77 +20

Watchlist name fails the new_buy convergence bar (win_prob only 55, needs 65+). Networking exposure to AI buildout is real but stock is breaking down near-term with no immediate catalyst. Sector concentration also argues against adding. Skip.

2026-06-09 57 0

Arista is a quality AI networking name but fails the new_buy convergence bar (win_prob 55 < 65). Momentum is negative, valuation rich, and risk agent flags severe concentration overlap with existing semis. Wait for stabilization or earnings catalyst before considering.

2026-06-08 57 -27

ANET is watchlist with thesis_pct=66 but win_probability only 55 — fails new_buy convergence bar (needs >=60 and >=65). Negative momentum and severe sector concentration argue against initiation. Skip.

2026-06-07 84 0

Constructive bull setup with direct AI-networking catalyst, but win_probability (60) sits right at the new_buy threshold and thesis_pct (66) is only modestly above. No clear breakout (11% below 52w high, momentum 36) and severe sector concentration risk. Watchlist, not a buy yet.

2026-06-06 84 +2

Constructive bull setup with AI networking tailwinds and stock 11% below highs, but win_probability of 60 sits exactly at — not above — the convergence floor for new buys. Catalyst is supportive but not a breakout signal. Sizer will likely deprioritize given severe AI-chip concentration. Skip for now, monitor for breakout above $170.

2026-06-05 82 +4

Constructive bull setup with AI networking tailwind but win_probability=60 sits at the convergence floor and thesis_pct=66 is just above. Not a clear convergence signal warranting new entry given existing semi concentration. Watchlist hold.

2026-06-04 78 -3

ANET has constructive thesis and momentum with AI networking tailwinds, but fails convergence bar (win_prob=60 vs 65 required). Not a confirmed breakout setup (11% below highs) so the AMD-style override doesn't fully apply. Watchlist hold, not a new buy here.

2026-06-03 81 -5

ANET shows strong momentum and bull thesis alignment, but fails the new_buy convergence bar (need thesis>=60 AND win_prob>=65). Win_prob at 60 just misses. Constructive name to monitor but not actionable as a fresh add given sector concentration. Skip.

2026-06-02 86 +2

ANET sits right at convergence threshold (thesis 66, win_prob 60) with explosive momentum (98) and bull alignment to AI networking buildout. Just 11% below 52wk highs with hyperscaler order flow. Doesn't fully clear win_prob>=65 bar but momentum and catalyst alignment justify a starter. Best risk/reward setup in this batch among non-held names.

2026-06-01 84 +13

Strong momentum and constructive bull setup, but win_probability (60) is right at the edge and thesis_pct (66) is decent but not exceptional. New-buy convergence rule requires thesis>=60 AND win_prob>=65 — fails the win_prob bar. Catalyst is neutral (no direct ANET-relevant news). Skip for now; revisit if win_prob improves or a direct catalyst emerges.

2026-05-31 71 -3

ANET sits exactly at the convergence bar (thesis 65, win_prob 65) but lacks a direct ticker-specific catalyst — only general AI networking tailwinds. Risk specialist flags concentration. Watchlist hold; skip new buy without a sharper catalyst.

2026-05-30 74 -2

ANET sits right at the convergence bar but doesn't clearly clear it — thesis 65, win-prob 65, and performance percentile only 30. Bull networking-for-AI story is real but not a 52-week high breakout with direct catalyst. Skip rather than chase; revisit on a cleaner setup.

2026-05-29 76 +2

Arista is a quality AI networking name with bull thesis and decent momentum, but win_probability at exactly 65 and thesis at 65 sits right at the convergence threshold without a direct ticker-specific catalyst. Risk specialist flags severe concentration. Keep on watchlist for a cleaner setup with direct hyperscaler capex headline.

2026-05-28 74 -5

ANET sits right at the convergence threshold (thesis 65, win-prob 65) but with no direct ticker-specific catalyst and weak risk_quality. Networking is a peer cluster to held semis but lacks the breakout signature we saw on MU. Catalyst is generic agentic infra context. Pass for now; revisit if a direct hyperscaler order headline drops.

2026-05-27 79 +4

ANET sits right at the convergence bar (thesis 65, win_prob 65) but lacks the ticker-specific AI-infrastructure headline that defined our winners. Networking demand from hyperscaler capex is real but indirect. Without a direct catalyst and with concentration concerns, skip for now — watch for breakout above $179.

2026-05-26 75 -4

ANET sits right at the convergence threshold — thesis 65, WP 65, both just at the bar. Strong momentum and clear AI-infrastructure cluster membership (peer to MRVL, MU winners) argue for inclusion, but catalyst is only tangential and no direct ticker-specific news. Not a clean enough setup to override hard rule on new buys. Hold on watchlist for stronger catalyst confirmation.

2026-05-25 79 +17

Arista has clean AI networking tailwinds and strong momentum, but convergence bar for new_buy is thesis>=60 AND win_prob>=65. Win_prob at 65 is borderline and thesis at 65 is just at threshold with no direct ticker-specific catalyst headline today. Constructive but not a fresh buy here; would reconsider on a direct hyperscaler capex print.

2026-05-24 62 +9

ANET fails the new_buy convergence bar — win_probability at 58 is below the 65 threshold despite a decent thesis read. Networking AI play is real but stock is 21% off highs with negative near-term momentum and would worsen severe AI-chips concentration. No urgency to chase here.

2026-05-23 53 -23

ANET is a watchlist name where convergence bar is not met (win_prob 58 < 65). Momentum decent but performance percentile only 25 and stock is consolidating well off highs. Risk agent flags severe concentration. Skip — no urgency without convergence.

2026-05-22 76 +6

ANET has solid AI networking exposure and catalyst tailwind, but win_probability of 58 falls below the 65 convergence bar for new buys. Recent pullback and severe sector concentration argue against initiating here. Watchlist only.

2026-05-21 70 +11

ANET has a reasonable bull setup but fails the convergence bar for new_buy (win_prob 58 < 65). Stock is 21% off highs with negative near-term momentum, suggesting no urgency. Pass for now and revisit if a clean breakout develops.

2026-05-20 59 -9

Watchlist name that doesn't clear the new-buy bar — thesis decent but win-probability and momentum both weak, and stock is 21% off highs with recent -4% 5d decline. No catalyst urgency. Skip.

2026-05-19 68 +9

ANET is a quality AI networking name with Bernstein report support, but win_probability of 58 falls short of the 65 convergence bar for new buys. Stock is 21% off highs with weak recent momentum, suggesting consolidation rather than breakout. Concentration risk in ai-chips further argues against initiating. Skip and re-evaluate on breakout.

2026-05-18 59 -10

Watchlist name failing convergence test — thesis 65 marginal and win_prob 58 below the 65 bar. Recent -3.95% 5d move and 21% off highs argue against chasing here. Sector tailwind real but no ANET-specific catalyst. Skip.

2026-05-17 69 +13

Arista has solid AI data center networking exposure but win_probability only 55 fails the >=65 convergence bar for new buys. Stock is consolidating well below highs, not breaking out — none of the winning patterns (range_position >= 95, momentum >= 70) apply. Sector tailwinds real but no ANET-specific catalyst. Skip.

2026-05-16 56 +2

Watchlist name with bull thesis but win_probability (55) fails the >=65 convergence bar for new buys. Stock is in consolidation 21% off highs, not a breakout setup that matches our winning pattern. Truist analyst note is supportive but not a hard catalyst. Skip — wait for either a clean breakout or a deeper pullback with capitulation.

2026-05-15 54

Arista has a credible AI networking thesis but the setup is mid-range consolidation, not a confirmed breakout. Win-probability is only 55 and the stock is 21% off highs - this fails the new_buy convergence bar (need thesis>=60 AND win_prob>=65). Watchlist skip until either a breakout retest of $179 or earnings catalyst.
