A stock pitch that survives questions

You bring the pitch, so a weak one is a choice. This builds a pitch as a probability-weighted claim rather than a target price — three scenarios, an expected return, an upside/downside ratio, and the bear-case probability at which the whole thing stops working — then works through the part candidates skip: the variant perception, and what would make you sell.

This walkthrough runs about 25 minutes, with runnable code you can edit and re-run as you read.
