Score scales differ by mode: NORMAL/YOLO use WSPL (large integer, mode-specific weights); BREAKOUT uses sigma-weighted reward/risk (decimal). Don't compare scores across modes — compare WITHIN each row's column. Click any row to expand its full dashboard panel below.

NORMAL — Stock replacement (Bucket A, deep ITM)

DELL @ $406.31

Sizing: $100,000 (ITM + OTM) | Chains: Jun 2027 (345d), Sep 2027 (437d), Dec 2027 (528d), Jan 2028 (563d), Jun 2028 (710d), Dec 2028 (892d)
NORMAL MODE — Bucket A (Deep ITM, LC 40-95% of stock, delta ≥ 0.70) for synthetic stock replacement; Bucket B (OTM/ATM, LC 90-200%) for max leverage / convexity. Score = WSPL × √(DTE/365); Bucket A weights peak at +25-75% (moderate-bull view), Bucket B peaks at +75-100% (convexity payoff). Designed for hold-to-expiry LEAPS positions.

Bucket A: Deep ITM Stock Replacement ($100,000 ML budget)

★ = recommended pick (per Verdict below; multi-dim winner across score, capital, BE, theta, ROIC). ◆ = best Fortress by raw score (when not the ★). Shows what the scorer would pick without --anchor, so you can see the anchor trade-off in the table itself. ▲ = best Pure by raw score (when not the ★). Score = WSPL x sqrt(DTE/365). Positive theta = you collect time decay daily (paid to wait). Negative theta = you pay time decay daily (cost of holding long options).

How to read the Weighted row: your expected dollar P&L if all the scenarios above played out, with each weighted by how much it matters for this mode. Stock replacement view: small moves matter most. +25% gets the biggest weight, then +50% / +75%. -20% and flat both count (they hurt the score). The Score is this same number multiplied by √(DTE/365) so longer-dated chains get a small bonus.

How to read the Weighted row: your expected dollar P&L if all the scenarios above played out, with each weighted by how much it matters for this mode. Convexity view: bigger moves matter most. +75% and +100% get the biggest weights. Tail at +200% counted; downside lightly weighted. The Score is this same number multiplied by √(DTE/365) so longer-dated chains get a small bonus.

BREAKOUT MODE — Bucket A only (deep ITM stock replacement) over a 6-month horizon. Score = (weighted P&L across sigma-scaled targets at 0.5/1.0/1.5/2.0/3.0σ of expected move (+28%, +55%, +83%, +111%, +166%; ATM IV 78%)) ÷ reward / max-loss + theta-cost, multiplied by time-fit. Stock baseline shown alongside Fortress and Pure for risk-budget comparison. Use for active directional trades; the Score Breakdown and Stop Profile cards below show per-target P&L and stop loss.

Each row is the at-expiry P&L if the stock lands at the target price. Score = (weighted-avg P&L) / (max-loss + theta-cost-over-hold) * time-fit. Read this table to override the score winner if your conviction favors a specific scenario row.

How to read the Weighted row: your expected dollar P&L if all the scenarios above played out, with each weighted by how much it matters for this mode. Active directional view: targets at 0.5-3 sigma of expected move over the chosen horizon. 1.5-sigma carries the biggest weight (most likely breakout magnitude). The Score is this same number multiplied by √(DTE/365) so longer-dated chains get a small bonus.

How to read the Weighted row: your expected dollar P&L if all the scenarios above played out, with each weighted by how much it matters for this mode. 3-4x thesis: huge moves matter most. +200% (3x) and +300% (4x) get the biggest weights. +400% counted as tail; +700% / +1000% rows shown above are eye candy and don't count. The Score is this same number multiplied by √(DTE/365) so longer-dated chains get a small bonus.
