Equity liquidity is ample for any size this book would take.
Chosen vehicle: common equity. Ladder position 1. No argument required (criteria.md: "Equity is the default and needs no argument").
Implied volatility minus trailing realised volatility, as a number:
| Trailing 252-day realised volatility | 57.0% |
| Implied volatility, ATM Jan-2027 $22.50 call (delta 0.58) | 66.0% |
| IV − RV | +9.0 volatility points |
Quoted size at the specific strike (not chain-level open interest, per §"Depth of position is not depth of quote"):
| Contract | bid × size | ask × size | mid | spread | IV | delta |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DOCS 2027-01-15 C22.50 | 3.28 × 912 | 4.32 × 753 | 3.80 | $1.04 = 27.4% of mid | 66.0% | 0.580 |
| DOCS 2027-01-15 C20.00 | 4.42 × 773 | 5.58 × 710 | 5.00 | 23.2% of mid | 67.6% | 0.679 |

A Jan-2027 LEAP is 5.5 months out — shorter than the declared 12-month thesis horizon, which puts it on rung 3 and requires both an argument and a catalyst before expiry. The only expiries Alpaca returns beyond 2027-01 are 2027-02-19 (9 call contracts, max OI 19) and nothing further. So:
Conclusion: equity, with no derivative overlay. This is the same conclusion every chain pulled in this project on 2026-07-29 reached, and for the same measured reason.
The Valuation Criteria returns FAIL, so the long case is not established by this memo and no entry is proposed. Recorded for completeness if the book takes a view against this memo's conclusion:
Both legs are present and this is recorded, not acted on: - Decelerating growth: 17.0% (4y) → 15.5% (3y) → 13.1% (1y) → +3.9% guided. - Exhausted margin runway: GAAP operating margin 33.3%, already peaked at 39.9% (FY2025), now contracting; adjusted EBITDA guided down 6–10%; SBC at 18.9% of revenue and rising. Incremental leverage visibly spent.
Also noted per §9 of known-silent-failures: a negative long expected return is not a positive short expected return. Any short here would need borrow, slippage and the $748.6m net-cash floor priced on their own before the sign could be trusted. Not done, because this is a long-only book and the fork is not live.
