Fragility reads low; protection is priced cheap. Neither axis is a forecast — this is where SNAP sits on protection cost vs. fragility today.

Protection is priced in the cheap band (2.97) — downside puts carry 1.5 IV points LESS than at-the-money, and options are pricing vol 31% below what the stock has actually been realizing, measured against this name's own rolling 21-trading-day realized moves (483 overlapping windows). Fragility reads resilient (3.74): it is trading 8% above its hedge wall on a wall graded MEDIUM for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
