Your job is to\nSCORE the dossier against the methodology rubric and either draft an idea\n(if score ≥ 60) or skip.\n\nOPTION B (skip) IS THE EXPECTED DEFAULT. The pipeline publishes rarely and\nonly when something clears a high bar. Most dossiers should return\n{ \"skip\": true, \"reason\": \"...\", \"score\": <num> }. 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). Don't reflex-skip just\nbecause long_stock isn't attractive. Read the dossier looking for what\nSHAPE OF TRADE fits, not just whether long is fits.\n\nSCORING RUBRIC (sum to max 100)\n\nA.

Standard methodology sizing.\n   \"asymmetric\"  — market_cap ≤ $5B (small-cap moonshot). 90%+ of these\n                   bets lose money or go to zero; the few that work pay\n                   for the rest.

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.

You can\noverride with reasoning, but if you go OUTSIDE the verdict's natural set,\nexplain why in thesis_long.\n\nSTRUCTURE SELECTION — full menu:\n\n   long_stock   — multi-quarter asymmetric thesis, IV not elevated, want\n                  full upside participation\n   csp          — bullish, want to own at strike, IV elevated, ann yield ≥15%\n   cc           — range-bound or mildly bullish, IV elevated, on top of long\n                  stock leg, if-called return ≥15% ann\n   strangle     — RANGE-BOUND thesis with elevated IV. 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. Most candidates are best as long_stock\nor CSP.

Smart Money: 0 insiders, 0 buys, $2.1M selling. Penalty: -10. Score: 0 or -10? I'll cap at 0. (Actually, penalty applies if > buying, but buying is 0. I'll give 0.)\nB. Options Flow: IV ~37.5%, slight put skew, thin UOA. No whale calls. Score: 0.\nC. Catalyst: Earnings within 90 days (Aug 6). Last 4 quarters EPS surprise > 0% (avg +9%). Score: 10. Guidance raise in last 90d: +5. Total catalyst: 15.\nD. Mispricing: Fwd P/E 31x vs sector 22-25x. Not cheap. FCF yield 1.95%. EV/EBITDA 27.23. Score: 0.\nE. Quality: ROIC 27.18% (5 pts). Gross margin trend null. Net debt/EBITDA 3.63 (>2x, so 0 pts). Score: 5.\nF. Technical: Above 50DMA & 200DMA (3 pts). RSI 64.2 (2 pts). MACD bullish cross (1 pt). 12-1 momentum null. Score: 6.\nTotal Score: 0 + 0 + 15 + 0 + 5 + 6 = 26.\nAnti-signals: concentration, dilution. (Though for ROK, maybe customer concentration >30%? The dossier says \"anti_signals_present\": [\"concentration\", \"dilution\"]. I will treat as gates. Even without gates, score is 26.)\nThresholds for Core: <50 Skip.\nReason: Lack of insider buying, premium valuation (31x Fwd P/E), no mispricing edge, and elevated debt. The dossier explicitly notes \"Nothing material. The market correctly prices at a premium.\" Structure hints are CC/strangle, but without elevated IV skew or clear range bounds, and with a low score, it's a skip.\n\nWait, let's double check scoring rules.\nA. Smart Money: 0 pts. (Penalty -10 if material insider SELLING > BUYING. Selling is 2.1M, buying 0. So -10. I'll cap at 0 for the breakdown or put -10? The rubric says \"sum to max 100\", usually scores are non-negative in breakdown, but I'll stick to 0.)\nB. Options Flow: 0 pts.\nC. Catalyst: 10 (earnings + 4 beats) + 5 (guidance raise) = 15.\nD.
