Platform vs Binary Bet Classifier
LLY and SMMT weren't chosen for contrast by accident — one is a diversified platform bet, the other a single-asset binary bet. This tool applies that same classification to any two companies you're considering, and shows the typical upside/downside swing for each type.
How to use it:
Answer four yes/no questions for each company — concentration in a single asset, a dated near-term catalyst, product diversity, and profitability.
Each company gets classified as a Platform Bet, Binary Event Bet, or Mixed/Hybrid.
The typical 1-year upside/downside swing for that type is shown, using the article's own LLY and SMMT figures as the illustrative reference.
