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.

QUALITY (max 15)\n- ROIC 33% -> 5 pts.\n- Gross margin expanding 2.4pp YoY -> <3pp. 0 pts.\n- Net debt/EBITDA 4.8 -> >2x. 0 pts.\n- Score: 5.\n\nF. MOMENTUM/TECHNICAL (max 10)\n- Above 50DMA and 200DMA -> 3 pts.\n- 12-1 momentum vs sector: null.\n- RSI 14 in 40-65 zone (58.6) -> 2 pts.\n- MACD bullish cross: false.\n- Score: 5.\n\nTotal Score: 0 + 2 + 25 + 0 + 5 + 5 = 37.\nWait, let's re-evaluate catalyst. Earnings within 90 days (June 3) + 4 consecutive positive beats = 10 pts. Google LTA = 8 pts. Cap at 25. So catalyst is 25.\nTotal is 37.\nRisk class: core.\nThresholds for core:\n< 50 Skip.\nAnti-signal gates: \"dilution\", \"concentration\".\nDilution: Convertible/warrant overhang > 10%? Not explicitly stated, but \"dilution\" is flagged.\nConcentration: Customer concentration > 30%? Google is a huge customer. The dossier says \"Google LTA confirmed...\". Usually, large cap tech has high customer concentration risk if noted.\nEven without anti-signal, score is 37, which is < 50. So skip.\n\nLet's double check scoring.\nA: 0\nB: 2 (net dollar bias > 30%)\nC: 25 (cap)\nD: 0\nE: 5 (ROIC)\nF: 5 (above 50/200dma, RSI 40-65)\nTotal: 37.\n\nReason for skip: Score is 37 (<50). The dossier explicitly notes the stock is not mispriced (forward P/E 23x vs sector 28x, but EV/EBITDA is rich at 55x), lacks insider buying, and sits near a 52-week high with elevated IV. The \"dilution\" and \"concentration\" anti-signals further warrant caution. The market is pricing the Google/Anthropic catalyst efficiently, leaving no clear asymmetric edge.\n\nWait, should I give it a slightly higher score for catalyst? The rubric says:\n10 pts: earnings within 90 days AND last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0%\n8 pts: pending product launch / FDA / contract milestone in horizon\n5 pts: recent guidance raise\n5 pts: quantifiable sector tailwind\nCap at 25.\nSo 25 is correct.\n\nQuality: ROIC 33% -> 5.\nTechnical: above 50/200 -> 3. RSI 58.6 -> 2. Total 5.\nOptions: +2 for net dollar bias >30%.\nTotal: 37.\n\nCould I justify a higher score? Maybe mispricing: forward P/E 23.25 vs 28 is only 17% below. Doesn't hit 20%. FCF yield 5.9% < 7%. So 0.\nSo 37 is solid.\n\nCheck anti-signals: \"dilution\", \"concentration\". 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.\"\nI will note the anti-signals but the score is already <50.\n\nI will output the skip JSON.\nStructure:\n{\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": 37,\n \"score_breakdown\": {\n \"smart_money\": 0,\n \"options_flow\": 2,\n \"catalyst\": 25,\n \"mispricing\": 0,\n \"quality\": 5,\n \"technical\": 5\n },\n \"reason\": \"Score falls well below the 50-point publish threshold.

The rubric caps at 25. So 25 is max.\nCould technical be higher? 3 + 2 = 5. Max 10.\nCould quality be higher? ROIC 33% = 5. Gross margin 2.4pp < 3pp. Net debt/EBITDA 4.8 > 2.
