AI CONVICTION THESIS

Sylvamo clears the calibrated bar. All three legs are above the floor (Q58 V65 M52) and an active buyback provides the required corroboration. Nothing adverse survives the evidence test: the only insider figure on file is selling that rounds to 0.00% of shares outstanding, which the framework treats as unusable rather than adverse, and there is no negative earnings revision. Value at V65 is the strongest part of the case.
