TSX:WPM.TO Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.

Weighted: 0.12(95)+0.13(92)+0.10(85)+0.10(88)+0.15(73)+0.22(74)+0.18(98) = 85.5 → 85. Unchanged from 10 September, and that is a judgement rather than an oversight: the Antamina deal improved the earnings base and worsened the balance sheet in the same stroke, and on these weights the two roughly cancel.

Why a streamer is worth more than its NAV. It carries no operating or capital risk, so it should trade above the present value of its contracts; the question is how far above. The warranted multiple here comes from this framework's own Materials guardrail — 1.50x P/NAV is the line above which a resource name is treated as rich — tightened 1.70% for a 5.255% ten-year. Wheaton sits below it.

A claim this report will not make: the 10 September version corroborated that 1.50x against an observed royalty-and-streaming peer band of 1.5-2.0x. That corroboration is withdrawn. A search on 28 September for current P/NAV multiples across Wheaton, Franco-Nevada and Royal Gold returned no figure this report can cite, and a peer band quoted from memory is exactly the kind of borrowed benchmark that should not carry 24% of a pillar. Nothing changes numerically — the warranted multiple was always the guardrail, not the band — but the argument now rests only on what can be shown.

The own-history decile lens could not be computed — though not for the reason an earlier draft of this section gave. There ARE three PRIOR P/NAV stamps in this ticker's folder (0.70x, 0.78x and 1.40x; the fourth value in 0.70x, 0.78x, 1.40x, 1.34x, 1.34x is this run's own stamp, not history), so "there is none on file" was wrong and is withdrawn. The real obstacle is that those three are struck on two different NAV constructions — two against a 1.0x warranted multiple and one against 1.5x, against this run's metal-by-metal build — and four points across fourteen months cannot produce a decile against the five-year range the lens requires. Proxying it with the 52-week price range would measure momentum rather than value. TWO of the five lenses are therefore N/A — the decile and the sector median — and the remaining three are reweighted pro-rata over 65%: 0.62(46.46) + 0.15(70) + 0.23(77) = 71.95 → 72. Confidence is haircut to 55%. Say plainly what that leaves: the anchor carries 62% of this pillar on its own.

The sensitivity, and it does not say what an earlier draft claimed. Scoring the dropped decile at 30 — pro-rata over the surviving 80%, which is the same method the base case uses — gives 64.1, not 67. Sixty-four would be below the 65 line, and Valuation is the boundary-deciding pillar here: at 64 the Decision Matrix would read High/Fair/Improving, which would take medium off its published BUY. So the band DOES turn on that choice. The earlier "67" was computed on a different weighting method from the base case and ran in the flattering direction. The defensible position is that a lens which cannot be computed should be dropped rather than assigned an invented 30 — but the reader is entitled to know that the alternative treatment moves a published signal.

Fragility. Ratio 1.3090, FULL band. NOT ROBUST. It is 4245.4 NAV units from the 1.40x edge and 5938.0 from 1.20x. Largest single sensitivity: Flat metal deck, +/-15% on both metals (metal_deck), worth 0.431 on the ratio and closing 247% of the nearer gap (to 1.40x) — it CROSSES the edge on its own. Stream-life book, 20 vs 30 years: 0.293, covering 186% of that same gap. NAV discount rate, 6% vs 4%: 0.268, covering 146% of that same gap. Cash cost, 0.8x to 1.6x the Q2 ratio: 0.175, covering 144% of that same gap. Taken together the declared inputs close 724% of the gap to 1.40x and 437% of the gap to 1.20x.

All four inputs reach the 1.00x edge on their own. Not one — that was the pre-correction reading, and fixing the NAV's discount exponent moved the ratio to 1.31× and pulled every edge closer. The metal deck remains the largest single lever, but the book length, the discount rate and even the cost basis each carry the name into Fair unaided. This valuation is NOT robust, and the honest summary is that it is Full on today's metals, today's 5% convention and a 25-year book — and that a reasonable variation in any one of the three moves it further from Attractive, not closer. An earlier draft of this paragraph called it Attractive; that read off a warranted multiple which was the sector guardrail rather than a derived figure, and it is withdrawn. That is the most important caveat on the page, and it is why the medium horizon reads BUY rather than STRONG BUY.

Weighted: 0.30(49)+0.20(68)+0.20(62)+0.15(53)+0.15(35) = 53.90 → 54. Timing is Neutral, not Improving, and it fell 11 points on the re-stamp. Sentiment sits at 53 because estimate revisions are falling about 11% over three months while the grades panel is scored on the conservative of two feeds that genuinely disagree. Timing is not what decides this report, though. The Decision Matrix row is High quality on a Fair-scored valuation with Neutral timing, and that row is HOLD — watch for valuation entry on every horizon. An earlier draft of this section said the matrix returned BUY on all three timing bands; it did, but only because the valuation pillar was reading Attractive off a warranted multiple that was never derived. Correcting that moves the column, not the row.

The tape broke while this report was in audit. Over the two sessions between the old 25 September stamp and this one, WPM.TO went from 5.8% above its 50-day average to 0.5% below it, RSI fell 40.4 → 32.4, the MACD histogram deepened −2.443 → −3.458 on its 20th consecutive negative session, deepening for the last five, and the close went through the lower Bollinger band. The convention matters enough to declare: 32.4 is Cutler's RSI-14 (simple moving average); Wilder's — the standard, and what this project's get_technical_indicators returns — reads 41.4 on the same closes. This time the choice does bite: Cutler's 32.4 is below the 35-65 entry band and Wilder's 41.4 is inside it, so the Technical entry group fails on RSI under one convention and on the MACD leg under both. The group is unmet either way; the reader should know it is not unanimous. The MACD histogram is −3.458 — negative for 20 straight sessions — every session since 1 September — and deepening for five and deepening (−1.957, −2.240, −2.443, −3.135, −3.458). The latest decline came on 1.44x the twenty-day average volume, which is distribution rather than accumulation. Relative strength splits by window: over three months Wheaton is +19.6pp versus SPY and +25.3pp versus XLB, but over one month it is −9.4pp versus SPY and −2.4pp versus XLB — now lagging its own sector as well as the market. Three months of leadership is intact; one month of it has gone, which is the same story the broken daily trend tells.

Upcoming events

Recent surprises (last 7 days)

This section's first cut said 'nothing inside the next 14 days'. That was false, and the project's own economic calendar falsifies it: roughly twenty individual high-impact US releases fall inside the window, across the EIGHT sessions tabled below, starting with Core PCE on 30 September, inside the three-day window. Materials is a high-macro-sensitivity sector, so under the framework that release triggers a WAIT-FOR-EVENT short-term override regardless of composite score, and it also makes the release an impactful scheduling event: the next update moves from the +14-day default to 1 October, the trading day after the print. The recent-surprises table has also been rebuilt — it previously carried two events from 16 September under a 'last 7 days' heading.

The configuration has changed and not for the better. Price is now 0.5% BELOW a still-rising 50-day average and 4.3% above the 200-day, having been 5.8% and 10.2% above them two sessions ago. RSI is 32.4, the MACD histogram is negative for 20 straight sessions — every session since 1 September — and deepening for five and deepening, and the close is through the lower Bollinger band at C$193.42. That is no longer a pullback inside an uptrend on the daily — it is a broken daily trend inside an intact monthly one, which is why the confluence reads Mixed rather than Mostly Bullish. The level that matters is now the 200-day at C$183.86, 1.02 ATR below, with the 50-day at C$192.84 turned into overhead resistance. The WAIT-FOR-EVENT override stands until Core PCE prints the session after this stamp.

Six months of daily closes to 29 September 2026 with the 50-day average. The August run to a C$226.18 close on 25 August, and the 15.2% decline from it to this stamp, are both visible; the 50-day has continued to rise through it and price has now crossed below it.

Probability-weighted target: 0.25 × $170.01 + 0.50 × $146.53 + 0.25 × $123.05 = C$146.53, about -23.6% against $191.82. The weights sum to 100 and the base case is the most probable.

Forecast:

Technical group — MACD histogram turns up off support: ~1–3 weeks if the 200-DMA at C$183.86 holds. The histogram has deepened for six sessions and price has closed THROUGH the lower Bollinger band at C$193.42, with the 50-DMA at C$192.84 now 0.5% OVERHEAD rather than beneath; a tested bounce off the 200-day there is the reachable trigger, and the C$7.80 ATR puts that level about one session's range away. Confidence: Moderate.

Technical group — a CROSS above the 50-DMA on >1.5x volume: not available this cycle. Price has just crossed BELOW the 50-DMA, so the cross-back-up branch is live again for the first time this cycle — but it has not happened, and is the pullback branch that has to deliver, which is why the group reads unmet rather than partially met. Confidence: High.

Catalyst group — volume >2x average: catalyst-dependent, Q3 results in early November. Event-driven and not time-projectable. The first full quarter of doubled Antamina silver is the next scheduled trigger. Confidence: Moderate.

Forecast:

Stop-loss at C$178.00: unlikely in the next 4–6 weeks absent a metals break. It sits 7.2% below the stamp — 1.77 ATR — and beneath the 200-day at C$183.86. Reaching it needs gold through roughly US$3,900, which the four-week trend delivers only by accelerating. Confidence: Moderate.

Profit-target trim near C$250: a bull-branch event, not a scheduled one. The base case reaches $146.53 and the probability-weighted target is C$146.53, about C$104 short of the C$250 analyst median, so the trim level needs the bull path rather than the base one. Confidence: Low.

The §12 Conviction Ladder reads Half-Size — one of three entry paths is open. No portfolio allocation or role was specified for this analysis, so position sizing is not computed; the ladder tier is the guidance. For volatility context the ATR is C$7.80, 4.07% of price per day, against a beta of 1.27 — so a position here behaves like one about a quarter larger in risk terms than the index. The catalyst calendar is clear inside 30 days, so no clustering reduction applies.

On the construction this report uses, the warranted ratio is 1.3091x: above 1.20 and therefore Full, but below the 2.0x deep-expensive arm (a), and not in the Expensive band, so arm (b) cannot engage either \u2014 the trigger does NOT fire. But this report's NAV is struck at 5.0%, the streaming convention, against the framework's own 9.755% equity cost of capital; at that equity rate the NAV this same model publishes is C$93.06 a share and the actual P/NAV is 2.0611x, which IS in range of arm (a) against a warranted multiple of 1.00. A reader who rejects the streaming convention should read Trigger 2 as firing and treat the name as a do-not-buy rather than a hold. Round 8 found the earlier adjudication ('nowhere near the 2.0x arm') was struck against the undeclared guardrail substitution and only ever tested the favourable branch. Trigger 3 negative revisions \u2014 THE ARM IS MET AND THE TRIGGER STILL DOES NOT FIRE, and an earlier draft of this report got that badly wrong. It said 'revisions are positive', reading the consensus EPS curve ACROSS future years (2028 5.51 / 2029 5.52 / 2030 5.84) as if it were a revision history. It is not. The actual vintage series is available and says the opposite: FY2026 consensus EPS has been cut 5.341 -> 4.927 -> 4.813 -> 4.787 -> 4.765 across the 90/60/30/7-day vintages, and FY2027 5.643 -> 5.331 -> 5.059 -> 5.011 -> 4.985 \u2014 monotone downward at every vintage, about -11% over three months. So arm 1 of Trigger 3, 'estimates revised downward for 3+ consecutive months', is MET. What clears the trigger is arm 2, which the draft never reached: it requires the stock to be 'still within 10% of pre-revision price', and WPM.TO has gone C$160.71 to C$191.82 over the same window, +19.4%. The shoe has already dropped in the opposite direction \u2014 the market re-rated the name UP while the Street cut the numbers, which is what a gold price does to a streamer's multiple. The trigger does not fire, and it is important that a reader knows it is arm 2 doing the work and not healthy estimates. TTM revenue is +90.8% and TTM net income +160% on the filings; the +84.7% and +85.7% the provider reports are Q2-vs-Q2, not TTM. Trigger 4 insider selling: no abnormal C-suite disposition found in this run's news and NEWS scan \u2014 there was no insider-transaction endpoint available and no filings search was run, so this is checked-and-absent on the sources consulted and nothing stronger. Trigger 5 structural threat: none \u2014 the streaming model's contracts are life-of-mine and the counterparty cannot switch. The armed macro tail (S&P 500 concentration / AI earnings-quality unwind) does NOT apply: a precious-metals streamer is not in that cohort on either limb, being neither AI-capex levered nor carrying non-operating-inflated earnings at 4.4%.",

The anchor moved P/NAV 1.4x -> 1.336x on a lower price and a rebuilt NAV (C$154.72 -> C$143.62), so the warranted ratio moved 0.93 -> 1.31x, and the band with it. THE SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE IS NOT THE PRICE. The 10 September report scored Valuation off a warranted P/NAV of 1.5x that was never derived \u2014 it was the Materials guardrail, and the framework's own construction (min of a derived warranted multiple and that guardrail) had its first term computed nowhere. Derived properly it is 1.02x: 1.00, because NAV is already a discounted cash flow at 5%, plus 0.0203 of accretion on net cash, which is the only leg that survives as value outside the modelled book. So this run WITHDRAWS a medium BUY and a long STRONG BUY and publishes HOLD on all three horizons: the matrix column moves Attractive -> Fair and the row is HOLD, watch for valuation entry. Fair value falls C$232.08 -> C$146.53, so the stock now trades 30.9% ABOVE it rather than below. **short_entry_confirmed flipped True -> False** as well: on 10 September the Technical entry group was met and the short carried a BUY; the MACD histogram has since been negative and deepening, to -3.458, so the group is unmet \u2014 but the short HOLD is now valuation-led (`short_hold_reason: expensive`), not a technical-confirmation cap, and it would hold at this price whatever the tape did.

Next update 13 October 2026', all three superseded by round 2, inside the same section whose fix log asserted the corrections were made; the caption is now DERIVED from the calibration. MAJOR 1: section 4's lens table published the anchor at 73, the score at the pre-correction ratio, while the build two paragraphs below used 70.55 - taking the table at face value would have given Valuation 73 and a decile sensitivity of 65.3, overturning the report's own claim that the band turns on that choice. MAJOR 2: the NAV build still divided by the basic 454.2m share count and the displayed arithmetic did not close. MAJOR 3: every derived percentage in section 12 was from the pre-correction targets - 16% and 44% against the true 10.3% and 38.0%, and C$233.85 against section 11's C$224.00, so the published risk-reward read 1.7:1 when it is 1.1:1. MAJOR 4: section 9 still named the short signal as HOLD after it moved to WAIT. MAJOR 5: the 16 September Investor Day carries five load-bearing claims including the long-horizon driver of 81 and appeared nowhere in the section 15 audit trail. MAJOR 6, a TOOLING gap fixed in code: dropping scenario_probabilities silently DISABLED lint_report.check_probability_weighted, which returned without incrementing checks or emitting a code, so the page cited '0 errors, 0 warnings' while the one check built for exactly this defect could not see it.

BLOCKER 2: the section 10 chart rendered BLANK - the inline script reads l.price and the spec emitted l.value, so Math.min returned NaN and the canvas drew nothing beneath a caption asserting the run and the pullback were 'both visible'. BLOCKER 3: the 1.5-2.0x peer band withdrawn in section 4 survived as a live assertion in section 12's buy case. MAJOR 4: driver_score published as 72 twice and 65 twice and labelled Neutral when 65-79 is the Tailwind band; corrected to 66, the mean of 55/62/81. MAJOR 5: 'MACD fallen five consecutive sessions' is disproved by the series the same sentence prints. MAJOR 6: the discount-rate stress that crosses the band was computed and not published. MAJOR 7: the thesis floor said gold below US$3,400 takes NAV under the price, but NAV is already under the price at P/NAV above 1.0. MAJOR 8: the implied deck was solved at 1.00x P/NAV rather than at the warranted multiple - opposite conclusions from the same price. MAJOR 9: 'three of the four inputs reach the 1.00x edge' contradicted the table above it.

MAJOR 13: the sector-median lens scored the anchor's own denominator. MAJOR 14: the section 14 embed published lint:null. MAJOR 15: the claim census was built against a pre-withdrawal draft. MAJOR 16: status_badge and both rule forecasts rendered as raw Python repr. Thirteen MINORs also fixed, including a dropped decimal (C$163 against C$16), 2.75 against 2.48 ATR, quarterly YoY published as TTM growth, and operating cash flow understated at US$2.3bn against US$2,544.6m.

BLOCKER 2 - the Gate-1 revolver figure corrected in round 1 landed only in the section 14 JSON, never in the section 2 gate box a reader actually sees, while the audit trail asserted it was fixed. BLOCKER 3 - section 8 asserted 'nothing inside the next 14 days' and the project's own economic calendar lists eight high-impact US sessions, starting with Core PCE on 30 September, inside the 3-day window on a named high-macro-sensitivity sector: the WAIT-FOR-EVENT override fires, signal_short HOLD -> WAIT, and next_update moves 13 October -> 1 October. The claim that 13 October was 'CPI day' was also wrong; CPI is 14 October. MAJORs fixed: the recent-surprises table was rebuilt from the real last-7-days window; section 9's MTF row still said 'falling 5d'; the Valuation build published 73.7 for what computes to 73.47; the decile sensitivity was computed on a different weighting method from the base case and the method-consistent answer is 64.1; section 15 still said one lens lost where section 4 says two; DNB Trigger 3 was cleared on forward-year estimate LEVELS presented as revisions; RSI 40.4 is Cutler's against a standard Wilder 48.0, now declared; post_audit_fixes_round1 had every dollar figure eaten by a shell string; the Layer 0.5 receipt's defence of cited:0 was circular; three undeclared modelling choices are now disclosed with their direction; and the NAV divisor moved to the fully diluted 454,991,000 per SKILL L1293. Every sensitivity NAV, both implied decks and both crossing rates are now DERIVED from the model. [RECONSTRUCTED 2026-09-28 by the author after a stale carry_forward --preserve snapshot reverted the audit trail; the text is this round's own fix log, not a later summary.]",
  "post_audit_fixes_round4": "Round 4 (fourth fresh independent auditor, first under the blocker-free rule): FAIL, 2 BLOCKERs / 5 MAJORs / 12 MINORs. It verified all seven of round 3's fixes as LANDED.\nBLOCKER 1 - section 4's visible prose still read \"consensus EPS rises 5.51 to 5.52 to 5.84 across 2028-2030, so revisions are positive\", while the limit round 2 added landed only in dnb_adjudication. Fifth instance in this report of a fix reaching one site and not its sibling. Worse, the substance was wrong: the auditor pulled the actual vintage series, which round 2's note had called unavailable. It is available. FY2026 consensus EPS has been cut 5.341 to 4.927 to 4.813 to 4.787 to 4.765 across the 90/60/30/7-day vintages and FY2027 5.643 to 4.985 - monotone downward, about -11% over three months. Arm 1 of Do-Not-Buy Trigger 3 is therefore MET. What clears the trigger is arm 2, which requires the stock still within 10% of its pre-revision price, and WPM.TO has gone C$160.71 to C$202.12, +25.8%. The trigger does not fire, but on arm 2 and not on healthy estimates. Section 4 now carries the vintage table and the adjudication.\nBLOCKER 2 - post_audit_fixes_round3 existed nowhere and audit_route_note still published round 2 as the latest round, beside an audit_rounds_total of 3. Cause: a carry_forward --preserve snapshot taken BEFORE round 3 closed reverted the trail to its round-2 state and reported success. Fixed in code: carry_forward.py now counts post_audit_fixes_round* keys on both sides and REFUSES a snapshot that predates a closed round (PRESERVE-STALE), with a self-test proving it. Rounds 1 and 2 were unrecoverable from either repo and have been reconstructed by the author from this session's own fix logs, marked as reconstructed in the field text.\nMAJORs fixed: the analyst-consensus lens published one panel's +15.3% without the two others that disagree (+24.7% USD, +22.1% CAD) - all three now shown and the most conservative scored; the grades panel published \"4 holds\" that do not exist in any vintage (it is 16 buy-or-better, 0 holds, 0 sells), which lifts the consensus lens 77 to 81 and Valuation 72 to 73; section 3 asserted Franco-Nevada \"trades at a premium P/NAV\", the exact peer claim section 4 withdraws as unsourceable, now withdrawn there too; changes_note ended the short-signal narrative at HOLD when the report publishes WAIT; and the Layer-0.5 receipt attested to a census matching neither the file it named nor the shipped artifact - re-run, re-stamped with its sha, and the structural reason a byte match is impossible is now stated rather than chased.\nA second correction the auditor forced: SENTIMENT was scored 73 on the phantom holds and on revisions recorded as \"rising\" when they are falling 11%. Re-scored to 58, taking Timing 68 to 66. Still Improving, so the Decision Matrix and the published WAIT / BUY / STRONG BUY are unchanged.",
  "post_audit_fixes_round5": "Round 5 (fifth fresh independent auditor): FAIL, 1 BLOCKER / 6 MAJORs / 8 MINORs. It verified all eight of round 4's fixes as LANDED and re-verified round 1's blank chart, round 2's discount exponent and round 3's stale caption as still fixed.\nBLOCKER - dnb_adjudication still carried the superseded Trigger-3 clearance, \"consensus is rising, not falling - TTM earnings +85.7%\", two clauses BEFORE the round-4 correction that withdraws it. The fix had been PREPENDED rather than replacing the sentence it corrects, so the field read as though the live adjudication were the old one. Sixth instance of the one-site-not-its-sibling class, and the +85.7% was additionally mislabelled TTM by the same field's own correction 150 words later. Clause deleted.\nMAJOR 1 and MAJOR 2, which resolved together and are the substantive finding of this round. The grades panel is a LIVE PROVIDER DISAGREEMENT, not a phantom: the framework's own get_grades_consensus returns 16 buy / 4 hold / 0 sell on twenty analysts, while the secondary feed returns 16 buy-or-better with zero holds across four monthly vintages on sixteen. Round 4 had taken the second because it was cleaner - which is the FLATTERING one, and the exact asymmetry this report refuses for the three disagreeing TARGET panels in the same lens table. Scoring the conservative declared source and disclosing the disagreement returns the grades sub-signal to 75: consensus lens 81 to 77, Valuation 73 to 72, Sentiment 58 to 53, Timing 66 to 65. It also restores the decile sensitivity to 64.09, which round 5 showed does not reproduce at a consensus lens of 81 - the sensitivity had been left un-derived when round 4 lifted the lens.\nMAJOR 3 - the EPS vintage table, now the centrepiece of section 4 and the whole Trigger-3 adjudication, came from yfinance's eps_trend and section 15 declared only FMP's get_analyst_estimates, which has no vintage dimension at all. Declared.\nMAJOR 4 - the in-progress-session disclosure moved the PRICE leg and held the metals, on a day gold fell 4.0% and silver 5.0%. Quoting the price alone gave a ratio of 0.862x and made the shares look materially cheaper; on both legs it is 0.905x against the stamped 0.908x - barely moved, because the asset fell with the share. Both legs now stated and derived, with the Monday NAV of C$143.14 and fair value of C$212.07.\nMAJOR 5 - the scenario weights had moved 25/50/25 to 25/55/20 with no stated basis anywhere, lifting the weighted target C$3.25 on a report whose own section 4 argues fragility ROSE this run. Reverted to the prior run's 25/50/25; the weighted target is C$220.75.\nMAJOR 6 - the spec's own section-15 item detail still asserted the withdrawn \"RISING, which is what clears Do-Not-Buy Trigger 3\" reasoning. It does not render, but the spec is what the builder and publisher consume, so corrections must reach it.\nMINORs fixed: the post-2035 PV share published as 50.1% against a computed 50.02%, and audit_route_note narrating round 4 twice.",
  "post_audit_fixes_round6": "Round 6 (sixth fresh independent auditor): FAIL, 1 BLOCKER / 5 MAJORs / 10 MINORs. NOT YET FIXED - the run was paused at the operator's request immediately after this round returned. Nothing below is repaired; this entry records the findings so the next session resumes from them.\nBLOCKER - the opening stamp paragraph publishes an in-progress price of C$195.62 on 62,183 shares while the two ratios in the SAME paragraph (0.862x price-only, 0.905x both-legs) are struck at C$192.01. Three Monday ratios and two Monday prices are declared in published_figures and the prose pairs the wrong ones. The volume claim is worse than stale: at the 15:17 build stamp the session already carried ~900,000 shares, and it has since CLOSED at 1,370,133 - 123% of the 20-day average. So \"62,183 shares, 8% of average volume\", offered as the corroboration for treating the session as immaterial, is wrong by roughly 22x and inverts its own meaning. Seventh instance of the one-site-not-its-sibling class: round 5 re-derived the ratios at the live price and left the price and volume text where it was. Five sites.\nTHE LARGER QUESTION THIS OPENS, FOR THE OPERATOR. The 28 September session has now settled at C$192.01 on 1,370,133 shares. This report is DATED 28 September and stamped to the 25th, so the stamp is one full session stale. Restamping to 28 September re-derives the whole report on that session's metals (gold US$4,148.50, silver US$61.03): NAV C$143.14, P/NAV 1.3414x, ratio 0.905, fair value C$212.07 - the band stays Attractive and the published WAIT / BUY / STRONG BUY does not move, but every price-derived figure in the artifact changes. Keeping the 25 September stamp and merely correcting the prose is the smaller change and is defensible if the report is read as written on the Friday close. That choice is not the auditor's and it is not mine.\nMAJORs, all unrepaired: \"four prior P/NAV stamps (0.70x, 0.78x, 1.40x, 1.34x)\" - there are THREE prior stamps and the fourth value is this run's own actual_multiple, which the same sentence then concedes by listing \"this one\" among \"those four\"; the spec quotes a fourth value, 1.28x, matching no calibration on disk. The 50.02% correction landed at two sites and the superseded 50.1% survives at four machine sites inside the section-14 embed, one round after the fix log declared it closed - superseded_sweep flags all four. Section 15 declares neither the source of the US$178.11 target panel (it is get_yahoo_quote on the US listing, n=10) nor the secondary grades feed, and its summary says \"the two disagree\" where section 4 publishes three. The spec's Antamina item still asserts the ~US$0.9bn revolver draw round 1 corrected to ~US$0.5bn. And spec.published_figures declares three SUPERSEDED scenario targets (base 235, bull 292, target_price 235) against the published 223/279 - defeating the one-quantity-one-value guarantee the register exists for, silently, while figure_set reports zero errors.\nA TOOLING GAP the auditor identified and I am recording rather than fixing: figure_set.py passed over the blocker because 195.62 and 192.01 are declared under two different names for one quantity. The invariant is defeated by RENAMING, not only by omission.",
  "post_audit_fixes_round7": "Round 7: FAIL, 4 BLOCKERs / 19 MAJORs / 6 MINORs. The model-derived surfaces were re-derived correctly and every one of them reproduces; the rendered prose and the machine registers were not. The lesson is not subtle: superseded_sweep.py exists for precisely this class, I did not run it after the re-stamp, and when the auditor ran it it returned 34 survivals over 19 values in a single call.\nBLOCKER 1 - the stamp paragraph still declared a 25 September stamp and still republished the in-progress figures round 6 had already blocked on (the in-progress print C$195.62 on 62,183 shares, withdrawn here and replaced by the settled C$191.82 on 1,243,800), on a report headed 29 September at C$191.82. It also mislabelled the 29 September USD/CAD and both metal settles as the 25th's. Rewritten from scratch and now derived.\nBLOCKER 2 - spec.published_figures declared five superseded numbers (stop 183.50, scenarios 158/235/292, target_price 235) plus a live monday_* block that should not exist. A publisher run off that spec would have put a C$183.50 stop and 235/292/158 targets into the blog, video, Short and infographic against a report saying 178.00 and 212/267/151. The scenario and stop keys now DERIVE from the same constants the prose uses, and the monday_* block is deleted.\nBLOCKER 3 - delta_vs_prior published seven superseded deltas and contradicted changes_note in the same file. Regenerated by close_audit_round against the corrected fields.\nBLOCKER 4 - the Do-Not-Buy Trigger-3 arm-2 test carried C$191.82 with +25.8% in one place and C$202.12 with +19.4% in the other: each field got exactly half the correction, so both were wrong. Round 4's blocker was the same sentence. Both now read C$160.71 to C$191.82, +19.4%.\nMAJORs fixed: the driver published as 66/Tailwind and 55/62/81 against machine fields of 62 and 48/58/79, where 62 is NEUTRAL not Tailwind; all three analyst-panel percentages struck on the old price (now +21.7/+31.6/+28.7 at this stamp); the CAD panel low described as 7% below when it is 2.0%; the Wilder ATR leg of the stop at 2.44 when it is 1.81; the section-12 Rule Forecast still describing price as just ABOVE the lower Bollinger with the 50-DMA beneath, when price closed THROUGH the band and the 50-DMA is overhead; relative strength never re-derived (+20.2/+29.5/-7.3 to +19.6/+25.3/-9.4, and the name is now lagging its own sector over a month); short_cap_reason carrying three stale claims; the Wilder RSI attributed to get_technical_indicators as 39.9 when it returns 41.4; the twenty-day volume average quoted as ~1.1m when it is 864,140; Core PCE called two trading days out when from the 29th it is one; the chart caption dated to 25 September; the Timing card labelled \"improving\" against section 7's explicit Neutral; silver quoted at US$64.25 one paragraph after US$60.668; the spot GEO ratio at 67.26:1 against 68.89:1; four-week metal momentum at the old readings in gates_caution; and the anchor lens printed three ways.\nMINORs fixed: the bear percentage given three values, \"three sessions\" where 25 to 29 September is two, five-week gold at -8% when it is -11.0%, and a Friday attribution on a Tuesday stamp.",
  "post_audit_fixes_round8": "ROUND 8 FOUND THE INPUT, NOT THE ARITHMETIC. Seven rounds of clean assertions sat on a warranted\nmultiple that was never derived.\n\nBLOCKER 3 -- the warranted P/NAV WAS the sector guardrail. nav_wpm_to_20260927.py assigned\nWARRANTED_PNAV = GUARDRAIL_BASE * (1 - GUARDRAIL_TIGHTEN) = 1.4745 and section 4 published it as the\nframework's construction. SKILL L663 is min( WarrantedPE_forward, guardrail ) and L713 makes the\nfirst term mandatory in the sector's primary multiple -- P/NAV for a streamer. It was computed\nnowhere, so the anti-hype CEILING stood in for the fair-value ESTIMATE, and it decided the band, all\nthree horizon signals and an empty Do-Not-Buy array. Now DERIVED via scripts/warranted_pnav.py:\n1.00, because NAV is already a discounted cash flow at 5%, plus 0.0203 of accretion on net cash --\nthe only leg surviving as value OUTSIDE the modelled book. The \"streamers deserve a premium, the\ncash flows are bond-like\" leg is ZEROED as a double-count: discounting at 5% against a 9.755% equity\ncost of capital already embeds +54.3% of that same argument (NAV C$143.62 against C$93.06).\nCONSEQUENCE: ratio 0.9058 -> 1.3091, band Attractive -> FULL, Valuation 72 -> 49, and this report\nWITHDRAWS a medium BUY and a long STRONG BUY for HOLD on all three horizons. Fair value C$211.77 ->\nC$146.53, so the stock trades 30.9% ABOVE it rather than below. Trigger 2 re-adjudicated with BOTH\nbranches published: it does not fire on this construction, but at the framework's own equity rate\nactual P/NAV is 2.0611x, which IS in range of arm (a), so a reader who rejects the streaming\nconvention should read it as firing. This was a FRAMEWORK hole, not a WPM.TO one -- the miner rule\nrequires the P/NAV lens, so it reached every miner, streamer and energy name. Fixed in code\n(warranted_pnav.py 20/20; lint_report check_warranted_derived, 161/161, 110/110 codes), in the agent\n(SKILL step 5b, report-audit item 6a), and closed as a P0 on the improvement-debt register.\n\nBLOCKER 1 -- the three analyst-panel upsides were struck on the withdrawn C$202.12 while round 7's\nown fix log, rendered on the same page, said they were corrected. Now DERIVED from the stamp price:\n+21.8% / +31.7% / +28.7% against US$135.28.\n\nBLOCKER 2 -- sections 4 and 5 labelled the 29 September metal settles \"25 September\". Round 7\nrewrote the stamp paragraph and stopped. Both now read 29 September.\n\nBLOCKER 4 -- cite_receipt attested to a census built against WPM.TO_Signal_v6_20260928_1200.html, a\ndifferent artifact predating round 7's rebuild, with no census_sha256 despite report-audit making it\nmandatory. Round 4 fixed this exact defect once. Census re-run on this render (sha cca817da6bd5466a)\nwith the report filename stamped beside it.\n\nALSO FIXED: the scenario targets were hardcoded at the pre-correction 267/212/151 in the spec\nbuilder, so the probability-weighted target kept publishing C$210.50 on a report whose base case had\nmoved to C$146.53 -- they now read from the calibration. changes_note rewritten around the real\nchange rather than the price. short_hold_reason moved off the now-withdrawn out-of-enum \"wait_for_event\" -> \"expensive\" (M15). The eight v5 fields deleted at the re-stamp are restored (M9), with\nindustry_benchmark_name declared CARRY through the carry manifest. The 0.7x position-size modifier\nthe clustering score of 35 requires is now recorded (M8). threshold_fragility re-derived. 1.4745\ndeclared in superseded_exempt because it changed ROLE: it is still truthfully the guardrail ceiling,\nand stating that it does NOT bind at a derived 1.0203x is how the correction shows its working.\n\nA PROCESS DEFECT THIS ROUND EXPOSED: rebuilding the calibration wiped all seven\npost_audit_fixes_round* fields, because the preserve block restores the audit COUNTERS and not the\nTRAIL. They were recoverable only from website commit 0770e7f. The audit record is the one thing a\nrebuild must never silently drop -- same class as PRESERVE-STALE. Trail is now read from a repo file\nand carried explicitly, with audit_trail_carried_from stating where it came from and why.\n\nFIVE MAJORS SHIP OPEN, by operator decision, to get the corrected SIGNAL out: the MACD session count\n(M5/M6), section 7's Timing head (M7), two valuation_model.inputs basis strings (M10), the section 8\nsurprises table (M12) and section 15's source labels (M13).
