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.

Penalty is -10. So 0.\nTotal is 39.\nThreshold for ASYMMETRIC (market cap? ANET is >$5B, it's a large cap. Actually ANET market cap is ~$70B+. So RISK CLASS = core.)\nCore thresholds:\n< 50 Skip.\nAnti-signals: \"concentration\", \"dilution\".\nCustomer concentration > 30% is an anti-signal gate. Dossier says \"two customers = 42% of revenue\". This triggers the gate.\nAlso, \"dilution\" anti-signal. Dossier mentions \"$1.5B stock repurchase authorized\" but doesn't explicitly say dilution > 10%. However, anti_signals_present has \"dilution\". I will treat it as a gate.\nEven without gates, score 39 < 50. Skip.\n\nLet's double check the scoring.\nA: 0\nB: 4\nC: 20\nD: 0\nE: 10\nF: 5\nTotal: 39.\n\nReason for skip: Score is 39 (<50 threshold for core). No insider buying, material insider selling ($45M), valuation is rich (33x forward PE vs 25x sector median), and anti-signal gate for customer concentration >30% (42%) is triggered. The dossier's own verdict is range_bound_or_income, but even looking for income structures, the lack of catalyst proximity (<30d needed for low scores) and rich valuation make it unattractive. I will skip.\n\nWait, 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.\"\nConcentration > 30% is explicitly listed in ANTI-SIGNAL GATES. So I must skip.\n\nLet's construct the output JSON carefully.\nscore: 39\nscore_breakdown: smart_money: 0, options_flow: 4, catalyst: 20, mispricing: 0, quality: 10, technical: 5\nreason: \"Score 39 falls well below the 50-point threshold.
