The pipeline publishes rarely and\nonly when something clears a high bar. Most dossiers should return\n{ \"skip\": true, \"reason\": \"...\", \"score\": }.

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).

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.

The dossier says \"four consecutive positive beats\". So 10 pts. Guidance raise in last 90d: 5 pts. Total 15. Correct.\nTechnical: above 50/200DMA: 3 pts. MACD bullish cross: 1 pt. Total 4. Correct.\nSmart money: 0.\nOptions flow: 0.\nMispricing: 0.\nQuality: 0.\nTotal: 19.\nMatches.\nOutput matches exactly.\nProceeds. \n(Self-Correction/Verification during thought)\nIs there any reason to override the anti-signal? \"dilution\" and \"low_liquidity\". The dossier mentions \"dilution\" in anti_signals_present. It doesn't give details, but the gate rule says treat as gate. I'll stick with skip.\nThe 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.\"\nI will articulate that they apply and the thesis fails on valuation/edge anyway.\nAll good.\nOutput matches.\nDone. \n[Output Generation] -> JSON string. \n(Note: I will ensure no markdown fences are used as per \"No surrounding prose, no markdown fences.\" instruction, but the prompt says \"OUTPUT ONLY VALID JSON. No surrounding prose, no markdown fences.\" I will output raw JSON.)\nWait, the prompt says \"OUTPUT ONLY VALID JSON. No surrounding prose, no markdown fences.\" I will strictly follow that.\nProceeds. \n[Output Generation]\n{\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": 19,\n \"score_breakdown\": {\n \"smart_money\": 0,\n \"options_flow\": 0,\n \"catalyst\": 15,\n \"mispricing\": 0,\n \"quality\": 0,\n \"technical\": 4\n },\n \"reason\": \"Anti-signals for dilution and low liquidity trigger mandatory gates; additionally, the stock trades at a steep premium (48x Fwd P/E) with no insider conviction or mispricing edge, failing the anti-signal and edge checks required to justify any structure.\"\n}\nDone. \nAll constraints met.
