Bullish Case: CWK at $11.76 is well below both Helium and market density peaks at ~$12.50, with Helium's pdf assigning the highest mass (0.30-0.35) to $12.50 — implying mean-reversion upward. Record legal-sector leasing (7.3M sf Q2, +17% YoY) and office recovery support fundamentals; multifamily pipeline at 3.5% of supply signals a 2027 tailwind for services revenue. Rich short-dated put IV is hedging, not direction.

Bearish Case: Price is down 26% YoY, -12.8% in a month, with 500% put volume over calls and a backwardated term structure — traders are paying for downside insurance. The steep left tail (deep-put IVs 200-400%) prices genuine tail risk below $10. Momentum is decisively negative and the Helium AI forecast is -0.15% with zero historical correlation, offering no bullish signal.

Potential Outcomes: 1) 45%: Stabilize $11-13 as pdf peak at 12.5 pulls price up; falsifiable by 3 closes <$11.
2) 25%: Continued slide to $10-11 on put-flow persistence and backwardation.
3) 15%: Recovery $13-15 on Q3 earnings beat / leasing momentum.
4) 10%: Risk-off tail <$9 if SPY left-tail IV spikes (macro/Fed).
5) 5%: Re-rating >$15 via strategic catalysts.
