Staged Conviction Model

What Probability/Conviction Is Needed for the Bet to Pay Off?

The first hurdle is the hardest. Set your conviction for each stage independently, assuming the previous one has been cleared.

Quick Preset

Assign your conditional conviction per stage

Each input is P(clears this stage | previous already cleared). The chain multiplies into a cumulative probability of reaching each valuation.

There is a 5% chance the company clears the first hurdle. The Markov chain compounds that into a probability-weighted multiple of 352x, against a potential upside of 240,000x.

A 5% first-hurdle conviction compounds through the Markov chain into a 352x expected return on a potential 240,000x.
P(reaching $2T) unconditionally ≈ 0.12%. The bet is really about clearing the first stage.

Stages are sequential: clearing each one is conditional on the previous. The remaining probability mass is the implicit chance of failing before reaching the first hurdle.
Power-law outcomes dominate venture returns.
