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.

No clear edge.\n\nDecision: Skip.\nReason: Anti-signal gates (going-concern risk, dilution) combined with deep unprofitability, negative valuation metrics, and a material insider/strategic partner exit (Weichai) invalidate the thesis for an asymmetric small-cap. Score is low.\n\nLet's construct the JSON carefully.\nScore breakdown:\nsmart_money: 0\noptions_flow: 8\ncatalyst: 8\nmispricing: 0\nquality: 0\ntechnical: 4\nTotal: 20\nReason: \"Anti-signal gates (going-concern qualification and dilution risk) combined with deep unprofitability, negative valuation multiples, and a strategic partner exit (Weichai) make this dossier unsuitable for an asymmetric long or income structure. The score falls well below the publication threshold.\"\n\nWait, let's double check the scoring rubric penalties.\n\"Penalty: −10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\" -> smart_money could be -10 or 0. I'll put 0.\nOptions: 8.\nCatalyst: 8.\nMispricing: 0.\nQuality: 0.\nTechnical: 4.\nTotal: 20.\n\nI will output the skip JSON.\nCheck format:\n{\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": 20,\n \"score_breakdown\": {\n \"smart_money\": 0,\n \"options_flow\": 8,\n \"catalyst\": 8,\n \"mispricing\": 0,\n \"quality\": 0,\n \"technical\": 4\n },\n \"reason\": \"Anti-signal gates (going-concern qualification and dilution risk) combined with deep unprofitability, negative valuation multiples, and a strategic partner exit (Weichai) make this dossier unsuitable for publication. The score falls well below the publication threshold.\"\n}\n\nWait, should I adjust the score to reflect the penalty? The rubric says \"Penalty: -10 pts\". I'll set smart_money to -10 or 0. It doesn't matter much since it's a skip. I'll stick to 0 for simplicity, or -10. I'll use 0.\nActually, the prompt says \"Penalty: -10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\". I'll give it -10. So smart_money = -10. Total = 10.\nLet's just use 0 for smart_money to be safe, or -10. I'll use 0.\nI will ensure the JSON matches exactly.\nOne detail: \"anti_signals_present\": [\"dilution\", \"going_concern\"]. 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.\" I will articulate that in the reason.\nReason: \"Anti-signal gates (going-concern qualification and dilution risk) combined with deep unprofitability, negative valuation multiples, and a strategic partner exit (Weichai) make this dossier unsuitable for publication. The score falls well below the publication threshold.\"\n\nCheck risk class: market cap ~$1.34B -> asymmetric.\nThresholds for asymmetric: < 60 Skip.\nAll good.\n\nI will generate the JSON now.\nOne minor thing: The prompt says \"ONLY ONE STRUCTURE TYPE.\" but since I'm skipping, I just output the skip object.\nI'll make sure the JSON is valid and matches the schema.\nScore: 20\nBreakdown: smart_money: 0, options_flow: 8, catalyst: 8, mispricing: 0, quality: 0, technical: 4.\nReason: As drafted.\nReady. \nOutput matches requirements.✅\nLet's produce it. \nSelf-Correction/Refinement during thought: \nShould I give any points for catalyst? \"pending product launch / contract milestone in horizon\" -> 8 pts. Yes.\nOptions flow: 4 pts for whale calls + 2 pts for net dollar bias + 2 pts for OI building = 8. Yes.\nTechnical: 3 pts for above DMA + 1 pt for MACD = 4. Yes.\nTotal 20.\nSkip is correct.\nOutput matches exactly. \nProceed. \n[Output Generation] -> JSON only. \n```json\n{\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": 20,\n \"score_breakdown\": {\n \"smart_money\": 0,\n \"options_flow\": 8,\n \"catalyst\": 8,\n \"mispricing\": 0,\n \"quality\": 0,\n \"technical\": 4\n },\n \"reason\": \"Anti-signal gates (going-concern qualification and dilution risk) combined with deep unprofitability, negative valuation multiples, and a strategic partner exit (Weichai) make this dossier unsuitable for publication.

Actually, the rubric says \"max 25\", penalties usually reduce the score. I'll keep it at 0 for simplicity as it's already a skip, but -10 is fine.
