Disputed scenarios

Where the firm currently disagrees with itself

M. Okonkwo: Hold through year 7 — multiple expansion data is decisive.
R. Falk: Hold through year 7 — secondary depth is unproven through a down-cycle.
S. Vance: Pilot a 4-year median — liquidity has structurally changed since 2022.
Currently taught position: majority view, flagged as open
