Executive Summary
The committee is genuinely divided. Macro Analyst sees a compelling case — market regime is bullish (bull market -- normal position sizing). Value Analyst remains cautious — p/e of 66.5 is expensive by classic value standards. This disagreement is itself the signal — the setup is not clean in either direction.
