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

Protection is priced in the cheap band (0.72) — options are pricing vol 48% below what the stock has actually been realizing, and downside puts carry 0.1 IV points more than at-the-money, measured against this name's own rolling 20-trading-day realized moves (484 overlapping windows). Fragility reads resilient (3.57): it is trading 6% above its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
