Bullish Case: DOCU just beat Q2 (EPS $1.16 vs $1.08; revenue +9% to $875.7M), raised ARR guidance, and earned PT hikes to $70-$75. Momentum (+46% in 90 days) plus buybacks and IAM adoption could extend the re-rating toward analyst targets. Heavy call volume in Oct/Dec $70-$75 strikes and the Helium PDF's fat right tail above $70 show real upside participation.

Bearish Case: The stock ran +46% in 90 days on a beat that analysts still call non-durable growth; all raised targets are Sector Perform/Equal Weight. Google's Gemini Enterprise for Legal shows AI directly attacking document workflows. Helium's density peaks at $63.5-$64, below spot $65.08, and puts out-trade calls by 38% — the market is hedging mean reversion after the pop.

Potential Outcomes:

1. 30% Consolidation $60-$68: post-earnings drift, IV mean-reverts (falsifiable if Sept 18 put IV decays and $63 holds).
2. 25% Continuation +8-15% toward $70-$75 on ARR acceleration/buybacks.
3. 25% Giveback -10-15% to $55-$58 as the beat gets sold (mirror of Apr/Jul fades).
4. 15% AI-disruption de-rate >-20% (new legal-AI launches; watch GOOG/TRI follow-through).
5. 5% M&A/strategic bid.
