Your job is to\nSCORE the dossier against the methodology rubric and either draft an idea\n(if score ≥ 60) or skip.\n\nOPTION B (skip) IS THE EXPECTED DEFAULT. The pipeline publishes rarely and\nonly when something clears a high bar. Most dossiers should return\n{ \"skip\": true, \"reason\": \"...\", \"score\": }. Mediocre publishes burn\nDevil's Advocate budget and create credibility risk on the public site.\n\nLOOK AT THE FULL STRUCTURE MENU. Even when Scout says 'no asymmetric long\nopportunity exists' (verdict=range_bound_or_income), there may be a clear\nINCOME structure (covered call against the high; strangle inside an IV-\nelevated band; CSP at a downside-defended strike). Don't reflex-skip just\nbecause long_stock isn't attractive. Read the dossier looking for what\nSHAPE OF TRADE fits, not just whether long is fits.\n\nSCORING RUBRIC (sum to max 100)\n\nA.

The verdict tells you\nWHICH structures Scout thinks are in scope for this name:\n\n verdict='promising' → long_stock | csp (for asymmetric long)\n verdict='range_bound_or_income' → cc | strangle | csp on pullback\n (DON'T default to long_stock — Scout\n already said this isn't an asymmetric\n long. Look at IV elevated → strangle;\n stock at 52w high, fundamentals healthy\n → cc against implicit long; pullback\n thesis with cash → csp)\n verdict='bearish_setup' → naked_call (rarely; respect ceiling)\n\nIf Scout supplied structure_hints[], they're a starting point. You can\noverride with reasoning, but if you go OUTSIDE the verdict's natural set,\nexplain why in thesis_long.\n\nSTRUCTURE SELECTION — full menu:\n\n long_stock — multi-quarter asymmetric thesis, IV not elevated, want\n full upside participation\n csp — bullish, want to own at strike, IV elevated, ann yield ≥15%\n cc — range-bound or mildly bullish, IV elevated, on top of long\n stock leg, if-called return ≥15% ann\n strangle — RANGE-BOUND thesis with elevated IV. Sell OTM call + OTM\n put. Need: comfortable owning at put_strike, no parabolic\n upside expectation. Ann yield ≥12%. Compute and emit\n breakeven_high (call_strike + total_premium) and\n breakeven_low (put_strike - total_premium).\n naked_put — same setup as CSP but using margin. ~2x yield, margin call\n risk. Only for margin-equipped accounts. Note explicitly.\n naked_call — bearish setup with elevated IV. UNCAPPED loss if rally.\n Confidence ceiling 4 (Compliance enforces). Requires\n explicit upside-shock thesis + defense plan in conditions.\n\nMatch the structure to the thesis shape — don't reach for naked options\njust because the premium is fatter.

Dossier says \"gross_margin_trend_pp_yoy\": 35.9. Probably means margin is 35.9% and expanded >3pp? I'll assume +5.)\n- Net debt/EBITDA: 2.1 (≤2x? It's 2.1, slightly above. Maybe 0 or +2. I'll give 0 or +2. Let's stick to 0 for strict ≤2x, or +2 if close. I'll give 0 to be safe, or +2. Actually, 2.1 is close. I'll give 0.)\nScore: 10.\n\nF. MOMENTUM/TECHNICAL (max 10)\n- Above 50DMA & 200DMA: true -> +3\n- 12-1 month return positive & beating sector: null -> 0\n- RSI 14: 48.6 (in 40-65 zone) -> +2\n- MACD bullish cross: false -> 0\nScore: 5.\n\nTotal Score: 0 (A) + 3 (B) + 15 (C) + 0 (D) + 10 (E) + 5 (F) = 33.\nWait, A has a penalty of -10. Scores usually don't go negative, but I'll note it. Base A=0.\nTotal ~33.\n\nRisk Class: market_cap is $103B -> \"core\".\nThresholds for Core: <50 Skip.\nAnti-signal gates: \"dilution\", \"concentration\" are listed in anti_signals_present.\nThe dossier says: \"No customer concentration risk above 10%\" in filings, but anti_signals has \"concentration\". This might be a false positive from scout, or refers to something else. But I must treat it as a gate unless I can articulate why it doesn't apply. The filing says \"no customer concentration risk above 10%\". So I can override.\nDilution: \"convertible/warrant overhang creating dilution > 10% of float\". Not mentioned in dossier. I'll note it's not present.\nBut the score is 33, well below 50. So it's a skip anyway.\n\nLet's double check the scoring.\nA: 0 (insider selling penalty applies, but floor is 0)\nB: 2 (net dollar bias >30)\nC: 15 (earnings <90d with beats + guidance raise)\nD: 0 (trades at premium)\nE: 10 (ROIC 36%, margin expanding)\nF: 5 (above DMAs, RSI 48.6)\nTotal: 32.\n\nReason to skip: Trades at a significant premium to sector peers (27x Fwd P/E vs 21.5x sector median) with no insider buying and active executive selling. Lacks the mispricing or catalyst asymmetry required for a core equity or income play at current levels. IV is moderate (~28-30%) but not elevated enough to justify complex income structures over simple holding, and the stock is near 52-week highs with limited upside to consensus.\n\nI will output the skip JSON.\nCheck structure:\n{\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": 32,\n \"score_breakdown\": {\n \"smart_money\": 0,\n \"options_flow\": 2,\n \"catalyst\": 15,\n \"mispricing\": 0,\n \"quality\": 10,\n \"technical\": 5\n },\n \"reason\": \"TT trades at a significant premium to sector peers (27x Fwd P/E vs 21.5x median) with no insider buying and active executive selling.

The rubric says \"Penalty: −10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\". Since buying is 0 and selling is 3.88M, penalty applies. But scores are typically clamped to 0. I'll put 0.\nLet's verify B: net_dollar_bias_pct > 30 is +2.\nC: earnings within 90d + beats = 10. guidance raise = 5. Total 15.\nD: 0.\nE: ROIC 36% = 5. Gross margin trend 35.9 (assuming expansion) = 5. Net debt/EBITDA 2.1 (slightly >2) = 0. Total 10.\nF: above DMAs = 3. RSI 48.6 = 2. Total 5.\nSum = 32.\n\nMatches threshold: <50 Skip.\nI will generate the JSON.\nOne detail: \"anti_signals_present\": [\"dilution\", \"concentration\"]. I should briefly note in reason or just rely on score. The prompt says \"If scoring_inputs has anti_signals_present non-empty, treat each entry as a gate; skip unless you can articulate WHY it doesn't apply to this case.\" I'll add a note that concentration is mitigated by <10% customer risk per 10-K, and dilution isn't flagged in filings, but the low score is the primary driver. Actually, I'll just keep it concise.\n\nLet's craft the output carefully.\nScore breakdown matches rubric.\nReason matches instructions.\nAll good.\nOutput matches requested format.\nProceed. \nSelf-Correction/Refinement during thought:\nCheck C catalyst: \"earnings within 90 days AND last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0%\" -> 10 pts. \"recent guidance raise (last 90 days)\" -> 5 pts. Total 15. Cap is 25. So 15 is fine.\nCheck E quality: \"gross margin expanding ≥ 3pp YoY\" -> dossier says \"gross_margin_trend_pp_yoy\": 35.9. This likely means the margin itself is 35.9%, not the trend. But usually trend_pp_yoy implies change. I'll assume it qualifies for +5. If not, E=5. Score becomes 30. Still skip.\nCheck A: 0.\nCheck B: 2.\nCheck D: 0.\nCheck F: 5.\nTotal: 30-32.\nI'll stick with 32.\nOutput matches exactly.\nReady. \nGenerating. \n{\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": 32,\n \"score_breakdown\": {\n \"smart_money\": 0,\n \"options_flow\": 2,\n \"catalyst\": 15,\n \"mispricing\": 0,\n \"quality\": 10,\n \"technical\": 5\n },\n \"reason\": \"TT trades at a significant premium to sector peers (27.4x Fwd P/E vs 21.5x median) with zero insider buying and active executive selling.
