**PROMPT:**

```
Analyze [COMPANY NAME / TICKER] through an activist, high-conviction fundamental lens.

Context:
- My current view: [LONG / SHORT / WATCHLIST / UNDECIDED]
- Time horizon: [e.g., 2–5 years]
- Position size consideration: [% of portfolio or notional, if any]
- Specific question: [e.g., Is the moat durable? Should management pursue a sale?]

Deliverables required:
1. One-sentence thesis with conviction level (High/Medium/Low)
2. Variant perception vs. consensus
3. Business quality assessment (ROIC, moat, management)
4. Valuation — base/bull/bear with key assumptions table
5. Catalyst calendar with probabilities
6. Bear case steelman + kill criteria
7. Activist optionality assessment (if applicable)
8. Position sizing and risk management recommendation

Constraints:
- Flag any data gaps; do not invent figures
- Quantify downside, not just upside
- Be direct — if the stock is uninvestable, say so and explain why
```
