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.

Total: ~10.\n- Thresholds for core: <50 Skip.\n- Reason: Rich valuation, no insider buying, material insider selling, elevated dilution overhang from convertible notes, and customer concentration trigger anti-signal gates. The dossier lacks a catalyst-driven edge to justify entry, and technicals are broken. Skip.\n\nLet's double check the scoring rubric to be precise.\nA. Smart Money: 0. (Selling > buying triggers -10, but floor is 0).\nB. Options Flow: 0. (No whale calls, bearish dollar bias, IV elevated but no flow edge).\nC. Catalyst: 5 (guidance raise). Earnings in 90d but only 3 quarters of surprises mentioned.\nD. Mispricing: 0 (Expensive).\nE. Quality: 5 (Net debt/EBITDA 0.5). ROIC 2.5% is terrible.\nF. Technical: 0 (Below MAs, RSI 32.3 oversold but no cross).\nTotal: ~10.\nAnti-signals: dilution, concentration. Skip.\nVerdict: range_bound_or_income. Scout suggests cc, strangle, csp. But with no edge, expensive valuation, broken technicals, and anti-signal gates, I will skip.\n\nOutput format:\n{\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": 10,\n \"score_breakdown\": { ... },\n \"reason\": \"...\"\n}\nCheck thresholds: Core < 50 skip.\nReason: Rich valuation (40x FPE), broken technicals, material insider selling, and anti-signal gates (convertible dilution overhang and customer concentration) negate any income strategy edge. No asymmetric long opportunity exists, and the dossier lacks a specific catalyst to justify an income entry.\nAll numbers match.\nProceed. \nOne minor thing: The prompt says \"Penalty: −10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\". I'll just set smart_money to 0.\nScore breakdown: smart_money: 0, options_flow: 0, catalyst: 5, mispricing: 0, quality: 5, technical: 0. Total: 10.\nReady. \nOutput matches exactly. \nNo extra text.\nDone. \nLet's produce. \nSelf-Correction/Refinement during thought: \nCheck catalyst scoring: \"10 pts: earnings within 90 days AND last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0%\". We only have 3 quarters listed. So 0 for that. \"5 pts: recent guidance raise (last 90 days)\" -> 5.\nCheck quality: \"5 pts: net debt / EBITDA ≤ 2x\" -> 5.\nTotal = 10.\nAnti-signal gates: \"dilution\", \"concentration\". Convertible notes $546M on $5.8B market cap is ~9.3% of market cap, but the prompt says \"Convertible/warrant overhang creating dilution > 10% of float\" is a gate. Here it's close. Customer concentration >30% is a gate. I will cite these as reasons to skip.\nAll good.\nOutput matches schema.\nProceed. \nOutput Generation. \n```json\n{\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": 10,\n \"score_breakdown\": {\n \"smart_money\": 0,\n \"options_flow\": 0,\n \"catalyst\": 5,\n \"mispricing\": 0,\n \"quality\": 5,\n \"technical\": 0\n },\n \"reason\": \"Rich valuation (40x FPE, 42x EV/EBITDA) and broken technicals negate any income strategy edge.

So 0 pts for that component. Guidance raise gives 5 pts.\nCheck quality: net debt/EBITDA 0.5 -> 5 pts. ROIC 2.51% -> 0. Gross margin trend null -> 0.\nCheck technical: below 50/200 DMA -> 0. RSI 32.3 -> 0. MACD false -> 0.\nCheck options: no whale calls, bearish dollar bias -> 0.\nCheck smart money: 0 purchases, CEO sold -> 0.\nTotal = 10.\nAnti-signals: dilution, concentration.\nSkip is correct.\nOutput matches.\nDone. \nProceeds. \n[Output Generation] -> JSON only. \n(Note: I will ensure formatting matches exactly.) \nAll good. \nOutput matches request. \nProceeds. \n[Final Check of the Prompt]\n\"IF YOU SKIP — output exactly: { \"skip\": true, ... }\"\n\"ONLY ONE STRUCTURE TYPE...\" applies to PROCEED.\nAll correct.\nOutputting. \n```json\n{\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": 10,\n \"score_breakdown\": {\n \"smart_money\": 0,\n \"options_flow\": 0,\n \"catalyst\": 5,\n \"mispricing\": 0,\n \"quality\": 5,\n \"technical\": 0\n },\n \"reason\": \"Rich valuation (40x FPE, 42x EV/EBITDA) and broken technicals negate any income strategy edge.

I'll leave smart_money at 0 as scores typically floor at 0, but even if it went negative, the total is far below 50.
