AI CONVICTION THESIS

First Financial clears the calibrated bar. All three legs are above the floor (Q57 V51 M65) and a buyback retiring 0.19% of shares provides the required corroboration. Nothing adverse survives the evidence test: the only insider figure rounds to 0.00%, treated as unusable rather than adverse, and there is no negative earnings revision. Momentum at M65 is the strongest part of the case.
