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).

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.

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.

This triggers a skip gate if >30%, but even without it, score is low.\nAlso, edge check: \"Nothing material — the AI optical buildout thesis is broadly understood... pricing in aggressively.\"\nVerdict: Skip.\nReason: Extreme valuation (58x fwd P/E, 149x EV/EBITDA) leaves no margin of safety, and the dossier flags material customer concentration and dilution risks that trigger anti-signal gates. The setup is better suited for income collection, but the risk/reward for a publishable thesis is poor at all-time highs.\nScore: ~25.\nLet's calculate carefully.\nA: 0\nB: 2 (IV elevated, modest call bias)\nC: 10 (guidance raise + sector tailwind)\nD: 0\nE: 5 (ROIC)\nF: 6 (above DMAs, RSI, MACD)\nTotal: 23.\nFits skip criteria (<50 for core, or <60 for asymmetric, but it's core).\nOutput JSON skip format.\nCheck schema:\n{\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": 23,\n \"score_breakdown\": {\n \"smart_money\": 0,\n \"options_flow\": 2,\n \"catalyst\": 10,\n \"mispricing\": 0,\n \"quality\": 5,\n \"technical\": 6\n },\n \"reason\": \"Extreme valuation (58x F/P/E, 149x EV/EBITDA) at all-time highs leaves zero margin of safety, while anti-signal gates for customer concentration and dilution overhang further degrade the risk/reward.

Next earnings is 2026-08-05. Current date in dossier context is around May 2026. So earnings is ~80 days away. That's within 90 days. And last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0% is true.
