You're now talking about the expected trajectory.

Really, you're talking about expectations ("expected") of the expected ("price") trajectory (actual business performance).

If the above comment was intending to say "chart go up steeper make price higher, chart go up less steep make price lower", then no dispute there. But that carries virtually zero predictive information about whether the business will achieve "escape velocity" (whatever that means).

You absolutely cannot predict Anthropic's fate based on their growth rate slowing from Q2 to Q3. Obviously.

You can predict the resting place of a projectile with information like this. You cannot do so with a business, especially one as dynamic as Anthropic in an environment as dynamic as today's.
