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 41 0

Thesis rank is very high but win-probability collapsed to 35 and catalyst is weak — specialists are essentially saying 'right story, wrong timing.' Recent bounce and elevated PE despite disruption narrative mean the setup for a short isn't there today. Skip.

2026-07-13 41 +17

Classic mismatch — thesis is a screaming bear (95) but win_probability is only 35, meaning the specialists don't see it playing out from here. Per rule 4, win_probability takes precedence. Momentum already broken at 14 suggests bear move is largely spent. Skip.

2026-07-12 24 +5

Strong bear narrative but the stock has already given back ground and win-probability doesn't confirm continued downside. No catalyst urgency. Not a compelling short entry from here — skip.

2026-07-11 19 -36

Strong bear thesis validated by agentic AI catalyst directly threatening CCaaS legacy model. But win-probability sits at just 52 and the stock has already priced in meaningful decline. Without a short vehicle bar met, this is a skip — bear narrative is right but the entry is mediocre. Watch for a bounce to short better.

2026-07-10 55 -15

Strong bear thesis narrative on legacy CCaaS being disrupted by agentic AI, but win-probability only 52 because stock is already 21% off highs and some downside is priced in. Catalyst is mixed. For a watchlist bear short, we need higher win-probability conviction to move; this doesn't clear the bar.

2026-07-09 70 +10

Strong bear thesis on CCaaS legacy under agentic AI displacement, and catalyst flow confirms the direction. But win-probability is only 52 — the specialist flags bounce risk and that the stock isn't fully pricing the bear case yet, meaning timing is unclear. Watchlist name with no convergence for a short entry today. Keep on the radar; not actionable.

2026-07-08 60 +3

Strong bear thesis rank but win-probability is only middling and momentum isn't confirming the downtrend. Stock has already given back 21% from highs; incremental short here lacks the convergence signal I need. Watchlist skip.

2026-07-07 57 +33

Strong bear thesis narrative but win-probability specialist only gives 52 — stock is already down 21% from highs and PE at 36 doesn't scream imminent collapse. Weak momentum confirms the direction but there's no fresh catalyst to force a break. Not a compelling short entry from here; watchlist skip.

2026-07-06 24 -14

Strong bear thesis narrative but win-probability is only 52 — Win-Prob agent flagging bounce risk since stock isn't fully broken yet. Bear shorts on small caps with mediocre win-prob are the CRWD-mirror: high conviction narrative masking poor setup. Skip, watch for further breakdown.

2026-07-05 38 +17

Thesis strongly bearish on legacy CCaaS but win-probability only 42% and the stock is bouncing hard. Win-Probability > Thesis rule keeps this off any action. Skip.

2026-07-04 21 +9

Strong bear narrative but win-probability contradicts it — momentum is working against the thesis short-term. Win-prob > thesis in the tiebreaker. Skip; not worth shorting a name bouncing hard.

2026-07-03 12 -24

High thesis percentile (95) is bear-aligned but win-probability lags at 42 and momentum is weakest in batch. Small cap with poor risk quality. No convergence for action either direction. Skip.

2026-06-30 36 -20

Strong bear thesis percentile but win-probability says it won't work near-term — stock just ran 9% in 5 days and is 28% off highs already. Thesis-exhaustion logic argues against acting on the bear here. Skip.

2026-06-29 56 +33

Strongest bear thesis in batch (96th percentile) with confirmed AI disruption catalyst from SoundHound article. But stock already 28% off highs and just bounced 9% in 5 days — win_prob at 42 reflects this. Bear thesis is right directionally but timing is poor. Not actionable as a new short for this fund anyway. Skip.

2026-06-28 23 -41

High thesis percentile reflects the bear case strength, but win-prob only 55 and M&A speculation creates asymmetric upside risk to a short view. Forward picture is negative but messy. Watchlist, so skip.

2026-06-27 64 +17

Strongest thesis percentile in the batch but win-prob only 55 and momentum dead at 26 — the tape isn't confirming. M&A speculation is a real squeeze risk for a short. Win-prob > thesis rule keeps this off the action list.

2026-06-26 47 -20

Strongest bear thesis of the group — agentic AI directly attacks CCaaS. But stock is mid-range, not breaking down, and M&A chatter is a real squeeze risk. Watchlist bear with elevated forward downside but no clean entry.

2026-06-25 67 +11

Strongest bear thesis in batch with clear AI agent disruption narrative confirming, but win-probability only 55 and M&A speculation creates short-squeeze risk. Mid-range price means asymmetry isn't compelling. Watch.

2026-06-24 56 +29

Top thesis percentile reflects the strong agentic-AI-disrupts-CCaaS narrative, and today's Tencent/TechRadar headlines reinforce it. But win_probability is only 55, stock is mid-range not breaking down, and M&A speculation is a real squeeze risk on a bear setup. Convergence bar not met. Skip.

2026-06-23 27 -24

Strongest bear thesis in the batch, but win-probability is only middling and M&A speculation is a real headwind to the short case. Not actionable as a long. Skip.

2026-06-22 51 +6

Strongest bear thesis in the batch by percentile, but win-probability only 55 and stock sitting mid-range — not breaking down. M&A speculation is a real tail risk to short. Watchlist only.

2026-06-21 45 +38

Strongest bear thesis ranking in the batch with direct catalyst confirmation (autonomous AI in CX, Zoom AI teammate). But win_prob only 62 reflects the stock has already de-rated significantly. Watchlist bear with limited actionability — skip.

2026-06-20 7 -6

Highest thesis-percentile bear in batch — agentic AI is directly disrupting the contact center category Five9 occupies. As a long-only fund we skip rather than short. Low conviction reflects we want no exposure here.

2026-06-18 13 -1

Highest bear thesis rank in batch with AI disruption clearly displacing legacy CCaaS. Long-only fund — we skip rather than short. Forward view of the stock is decidedly negative.

2026-06-17 14 -31

Strongest bear thesis percentile in the batch with concrete agentic-AI displacement risk to core CCaaS business. Win-probability only 62 because stock isn't at extreme highs to short, but forward fundamental view is clearly negative. Skip as a long.

2026-06-16 45 +9

Bear thesis is the strongest in the batch on thesis percentile, but win-probability is only moderate and the stock is already beaten down. Watchlist bear means skip — we don't short small-cap illiquid names.

2026-06-15 36 -29

Strongest bear-thesis name of the batch with clear AI-agent disruption narrative, but win-probability is only modest and catalyst is indirect. Stock already well off highs. Skip as watchlist bear; no long thesis here.

2026-06-14 65 +11

Thesis is strong (96) but win_prob only 55 and stock is mid-range, not breaking down — bear setup isn't ripe. Long-only fund can't act on it. Skip.

2026-06-14 54 -32

Thesis percentile is the highest in the batch but it's a bear thesis on a small-cap CCaaS name we can't easily express. Win-probability of 55 is weak — specialists believe the disruption story but don't have conviction on near-term price action. Skip.

2026-06-13 86 -1

Strong bear thesis (96) but win_probability of 55 fails the >=65 convergence bar for new positions. Small cap with poor risk quality makes shorting risky. Watch for win_prob to rise but don't initiate.

2026-06-12 87 +1

Highest thesis conviction in the batch — CCaaS is genuinely being eaten by AI-native voice agents. But win_probability of 55 falls short of the 60 bear-action threshold, and the stock is mid-range rather than near 52w lows, so the catalyst timing is unclear. Watchlist priority but not actionable today.

2026-06-11 86 +3

Highest thesis in batch with strong catalyst confirmation of CCaaS disruption, but win-prob=55 doesn't clear the 65 convergence bar and the stock is mid-range rather than breaking down. Bear short setup is incomplete. Skip until either price breaks lower or win-prob improves.

2026-06-10 83 -4

Very strong bear thesis but Win-Prob 55 fails convergence (need >=65). Stock not at lows where bear setups pay. Skip per hard rule though tempting on thesis.

2026-06-09 87 +6

Highest thesis score in batch (96) on a clean AI-disruption bear, but win-probability is only 55 — below the 65 convergence bar for new positions. Small cap with liquidity risk. Strong narrative but the 'will it work' agent isn't convinced. Skip and watch for win-prob to firm up.

2026-06-08 81 +7

Highest thesis_pct in batch but win_prob=55 fails convergence bar for new short. CCaaS AI-disruption story is real but timing unclear with stock mid-range. Pass for now, monitor.

2026-06-07 74 -1

Best bear thesis in the batch — explicit AI displacement catalyst (CMSWire: AI eliminates half of customer service jobs by 2030) and high thesis percentile. Win probability supportive at 62. As a bear watchlist, this is the closest to actionable in the batch but small-cap shorting carries execution risk. Not a new_buy; flag for potential short sleeve.

2026-06-06 75 +13

Strongest bear thesis convergence in batch — CCaaS displacement by agentic AI is well-documented and catalysts are confirmatory. However, recent 6.66% bounce and small-cap liquidity reduce the actionability of a fresh short. Highest-ranked in batch but doesn't clear new-buy/short convergence bar. Watchlist.

2026-06-05 62 -3

Strongest bear thesis in the batch — AI agents directly displacing contact-center workflows is on-point with our winning loser-avoidance pattern. Win-prob 62 supports short, but we're not currently positioned and small-cap shorting carries execution risk. Highest conviction in batch reflects thesis strength; action remains skip since we don't initiate shorts here without explicit sizing mandate.

2026-06-04 65 -10

Highest bear-thesis ranking in batch with confirmed AI disruption catalysts (Gemma 4, RTX Spark) undermining CCaaS moat — this is the type of confirmed-disruption loser we correctly avoided historically. However, recent 6.66% bounce and small cap make timing a short difficult. Watchlist priority for re-entry on weakness, but skip today.

2026-06-03 75 +9

Strongest bear conviction in the batch — thesis agent at 96th percentile, direct AI-CX disruption catalysts (Sendbird Agent Steward). However stock has already collapsed from $30 to $24 area and is bouncing. Small cap short with momentum against. Thesis is right but timing is wrong — skip new entry, monitor for re-shorting opportunity on bounce.

2026-06-02 66 -3

Highest thesis conviction in the batch — Five9 is a textbook AI-displacement bear with confirmed CCaaS pressure. However, stock already crushed from $30 to $24 with recent bounce, small cap liquidity is poor, and we're not currently short. Catalyst urgency low. Watchlist priority but no action today.

2026-06-01 69 +60

Strongest bear-thesis ranking in batch and aligns with prior winning pattern of avoiding AI-displaced SaaS like Workday/Five9. But recent technical bounce and weak momentum/performance percentiles argue for patience before initiating. Highest watchlist priority among the bears.

2026-05-31 9 +6

Strong bear thesis with confirming catalyst cluster (Parloa, OpenAI/Anthropic agentic features, TD Bank workflow disruption) directly threatens Five9's legacy CCaaS model. Win-probability only 62 on the bear side limits conviction, and as a small cap on watchlist with no short position established, the actionable edge is limited. Skip — bearish lean but not a high-conviction short setup.

2026-05-30 3 -4

Bear thesis with low momentum and low risk_quality. Watchlist name with no convergence — skip. The recent bounce looks technical against a clear secular headwind from agentic AI replacing CCaaS workflows.

2026-05-29 7 -24

Bear thesis with watchlist status — no held position to defend. AI agents disrupting contact center is a real secular threat. Weak momentum (30) and middling win-prob (62) don't support a short setup either. Skip.

2026-05-28 31 +24

Bear thesis ranks high but win_probability only 62 and catalyst weak (30). Shorting a $1.3B name with M&A wildcard and recent bounce is poor risk/reward. Skip — not strong enough conviction to act on the short side.

2026-05-27 7 -4

Bear thesis with high thesis_pct but we don't short small-caps casually. Watchlist skip — not actionable as a long, and shorting a $1.3B name with M&A wildcard risk is unattractive. Low conviction.

2026-05-26 11 +2

Strong bear thesis ranking but watchlist short with only 62 win probability — not enough conviction to act on the short side, and we don't actively short small caps with M&A wildcards. Skip.

2026-05-25 9 -5

Bear thesis on a small-cap CCaaS name being disrupted by agentic AI in contact centers. Catalyst confirms the bear case rather than offering long upside. Win-prob only 62 and that's for the bear direction. Not a short candidate given technical bounce risk and M&A wildcard, but no reason to be long. Skip.

2026-05-24 14 +4

Bear thesis stock with high thesis_pct (88) but win_probability only 42 — specialists note the stock is already 29% off highs, limiting further downside. Doesn't meet convergence bar for a short and not held. Skip.

2026-05-23 10 0

Strong bear thesis confirmed by Zendesk AI-agent disruption catalyst, but win-probability specialist sees limited further downside after stock has already been beaten down. As a watchlist bear candidate with weak win-prob, this fails the convergence bar for shorting. Skip — easier shorts exist.

2026-05-22 10 -17

Bear thesis on a name already down significantly limits remaining downside. Win-Probability at 42 and modest catalyst weight don't justify a short position. Skip — no convergence.

2026-05-21 27 +19

Bear thesis with high thesis_pct=88 but win-probability specialist only at 42 and catalyst actively contradicts the bear case. Stock already 29% off highs limits incremental downside. No convergence for a short, and as a watchlist bear it's a skip.

2026-05-20 8 -2

Bear-aligned watchlist name with high thesis percentile but weak win probability and performance. Stock already beaten down 29% from highs limiting short upside. Not actionable as a long, and we don't short. Skip.

2026-05-19 10 -4

Bear thesis on legacy SaaS facing agentic AI disruption is intellectually sound and catalyst is supportive, but stock has already declined significantly limiting further downside, and win_probability of 42 reflects this. Small cap with liquidity risk makes shorting unattractive. Skip.

2026-05-18 14 +11

Bear thesis is thematically sound — agentic AI displaces contact center SaaS — but win-probability only 42 and stock already beaten down 29% from highs. Recent 5d bounce suggests support. No convergence for a short and we don't typically run shorts. Skip.

2026-05-17 3 +2

Explicitly flagged in our learnings as the type of AI-displacement victim we correctly avoid. High thesis_pct (88) reflects strong bear conviction, not bullishness. CCaaS being eaten by AI-native voice agents. Hard skip — lowest conviction in batch.

2026-05-16 1 -4

Strong bear thesis confirmation — contact center is squarely in AI agent crosshairs, and recent learnings explicitly flagged FIVN as a correctly-avoided displacement victim. Lowest long conviction in batch. Skip on long side; potential short watchlist.

2026-05-15 5 -20

Explicitly flagged in fund learnings as the kind of AI-displacement name we correctly avoid. High thesis_pct here reflects strong bear conviction, not bullishness. Lowest conviction in batch — hard skip.

2026-05-14 25

High thesis_pct here means strong bear conviction — not a buy. FIVN is one of the AI-displacement victims pattern (alongside Chegg/WPP) the system has historically been right to avoid. Confirmed skip on long side; would be short candidate elsewhere.
