The frozen forecast

All three companies have published official earnings dates. The scheduled releases are near-certain; the unknown is what cloud growth and AI capex do to the Nasdaq.

This is the immutable published call. It is not silently relabeled as a narrative-only, model-only, or market-only estimate.

Plain-language decision summary

Why it matters and what to watch

The probability is a frozen forecast, not a promise. The watchlist is conditional: it shows the assets most likely to react if the claim resolves as written.

Now what?

The dates are certain; the reaction is not. Read cloud growth, capex, and guidance before reading the headline EPS beat.

Four lanes, no silent pooling

Narrative agreement

abstained no prepublication directional passages
Abstained
3 verified retrospective spans; 0 admitted before the forecast lock.

No passage-level agreement score is substituted from later evidence, headlines, source counts, market prices, or the published call.

The current source spans were frozen after the forecast lock, so they are published as retrospective citations but cannot influence or score the original decision. No narrative probability is inferred.
