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. Most candidates are best as long_stock\nor CSP.

No insider purchases, no notable 13F, no politician buys.\n- Options Flow: 0 pts. Bearish put blocks, net dollar bias negative. No bullish flow.\n- Catalyst: 0 pts. Next earnings May 11, 2026 (within 90 days but no EPS surprise pattern >0 consistently, actually recent misses/write-downs). No guidance raise. Named catalysts are ambiguous/bearish.\n- Mispricing: 0 pts. Forward P/E 14x but misleading due to losses. EV/EBITDA 13.3x. FCF yield 2.61%. No SOTP gap.\n- Quality: 0 pts. ROIC null, gross margin declining (-2.9pp), net debt/EBITDA 5.1.\n- Technical: 0 pts. Above 50DMA, RSI 60.9, but momentum -19.32% vs sector.\n\nTotal Score: 0.\nAnti-signals present: going_concern, litigation, concentration, dilution, accounting. These are hard gates. 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.\"\nGoing concern qualification is a major red flag. Customer concentration >30% is present (58.4%). Dilution (ATM facility, convertible loan). Accounting irregularities (fair value losses, inventory write-down).\nThe dossier explicitly says \"verdict\": \"bearish_setup\".\nOptions flow is bearish.\nScore is very low. Definitely skip.\n\nReason: Heavy anti-signal gates (going-concern qualification, >30% customer concentration, active litigation, and dilution overhang) combined with a bearish options flow and deteriorating fundamentals make this a structural short or cash-preservation candidate rather than a publishable trade.\nScore: 0.\nOutput matches skip format.\nCheck constraints: \"ONLY ONE STRUCTURE TYPE...
