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\": }. 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.

No. 5 pts: quantifiable sector tailwind? \"SpaceX IPO drawing capital away\" is a headwind. FSD China is a catalyst but not strictly sector tailwind in $ terms. I'll give 5 pts for FSD expansion / product catalyst. Total Catalyst: 5 pts.\n- Mispricing: Forward P/E 170.59 vs sector median 12. EV/EBITDA 138.92 vs 8. FCF yield 0.33%. SOTP gap null. Score: 0.\n- Quality: ROIC 4.9% (needs ≥15% for 5 pts). Gross margin trend +0.3 pp (needs ≥3). Net debt/EBITDA -2.1 (net cash, so 5 pts). Total Quality: 5 pts.\n- Technical: Above 50DMA (yes, 3 pts). Above 200DMA? null. 12-1 momentum vs sector +8% (positive and beating sector, 4 pts). RSI 14 in 40-65? 59 is in 40-65 (2 pts). MACD bullish cross? false (0 pts). Total Technical: 9 pts.\n\nTotal Score: 0 (Smart Money) + 7 (Options) + 5 (Catalyst) + 0 (Mispricing) + 5 (Quality) + 9 (Technical) = 26 pts.\nWait, let's double check the rubric points.\nA. Smart Money: 0.\nB. Options Flow: 4 (whale calls) + 2 (net bias >30) = 6. (Skew is put-skew, so 0). OI at defended level? Maybe 1. Total ~7.\nC. Catalyst: Earnings within 90d but Q3 miss -> 0. Product/Regulatory catalyst (FSD China) -> 5 pts. Total 5.\nD. Mispricing: 0.\nE. Quality: Net debt/EBITDA -2.1 -> 5 pts. Total 5.\nF. Technical: Above 50DMA (3) + Momentum positive & beating sector (4) + RSI 40-65 (2) = 9.\nTotal: ~26.\n\nRisk Class: Core (> $5B).\nThresholds for Core: < 50 -> Skip.\nAnti-Signal Gates: \"dilution\", \"concentration\" in anti_signals_present.\nDilution: Stock-based compensation $4.2B/year, growing share count. Rubric says \"Convertible/warrant overhang creating dilution > 10% of float\". SBC is dilutive but maybe not >10% float? The dossier says \"dilution\" is an anti-signal. I will treat it as a gate. Also, the score is 26, which is < 50. So it's a skip regardless.\n\nEdge Check: \"What does this idea say that the market doesn't already know?\" The dossier explicitly says \"Nothing material.\" and \"No identifiable mispricing — price reflects consensus Musk-premium thesis.\"\nVerdict: range_bound_or_income. Options flow reflects elevated IV premium.\nThis is a clear skip.\n\nI will output the skip JSON.\nScore breakdown:\nsmart_money: 0\noptions_flow: 6\ncatalyst: 5\nmispricing: 0\nquality: 5\ntechnical: 9\nTotal: 25\n\nReason: TSLA trades at a massive 170x forward P/E with zero insider buying and significant dilution/concentration anti-signals; the dossier explicitly notes no material edge over the consensus, making it unsuitable for publishing under the pipeline's high bar.\n\nCheck thresholds: Core < 50 -> Skip.\nAnti-signals: dilution, concentration.\nDossier says \"verdict: range_bound_or_income\".\nEverything aligns for a skip.\n\nI will construct the JSON carefully.\nScore: 25\nBreakdown: smart_money: 0, options_flow: 6, catalyst: 5, mispricing: 0, quality: 5, technical: 9\nReason: Matches the criteria.\nOutput matches exactly the required format.\nNo extra text.\nProceed. \nLet's verify the options flow scoring again: \n\"4 pts: whale_call_blocks_otm ≥ 2 with flow_directional_bias = bullish and flow_strength ∈ {moderate, strong}\" -> Dossier says \"10 OTM call whale blocks\". I'll give 4.\n\"2 pts: net_dollar_bias_pct > 30\" -> Dossier says \"59% net dollar bullish bias\". I'll give 2.\nTotal 6. Correct.\nQuality: net debt/EBITDA -2.1 -> 5 pts. Correct.\nTechnical: above 50dma (3) + momentum beating sector (4) + RSI 40-65 (2) = 9. Correct.\nTotal 25.\nSkip JSON ready.\nOutput matches exactly.\nProceed. \nOne minor thing: The prompt says \"ONLY ONE STRUCTURE TYPE. Pick long_stock, csp, OR cc and only fill that sub-object.\" but this is for IF PROCEED. I am skipping, so I will output the skip schema.\nThe skip schema is:\n{\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": ,\n \"score_breakdown\": { ... },\n \"reason\": \"...\"\n}\nAll good.\nI will generate it now. \nSelf-Correction/Refinement during thought: \nWait, the prompt says \"anti_signals_present\": [\"dilution\", \"concentration\"]. The gate says \"Customer concentration > 30%\" and \"Convertible/warrant overhang creating dilution > 10% of float\". The dossier mentions SBC dilution but not warrant overhang. However, the anti-signal list explicitly flags them. I'll note it in the reason but the score < 50 is sufficient for skip anyway.\nI'll stick with score 25.\nReady. \nOutput matches requested format.✅\nProceeds. \n[Output Generation] -> JSON only. \n{\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": 25,\n \"score_breakdown\": {\n \"smart_money\": 0,\n \"options_flow\": 6,\n \"catalyst\": 5,\n \"mispricing\": 0,\n \"quality\": 5,\n \"technical\": 9\n },\n \"reason\": \"TSLA trades at a 170x forward P/E with zero insider buying and flagged dilution/concentration anti-signals; the dossier explicitly notes no material edge over the consensus, failing the <50 skip threshold and the anti-signal gates.\"\n}\nMatches perfectly. No extra text.\nDone. \nProceeds. \n(Self-Correction/Verification during generation prep)\nCheck rubric for Technical: \"3 pts: above both 50DMA and 200DMA\" -> it says \"above both\". Dossier says above 50DMA: true, above 200DMA: null. So maybe 0 pts for that specific condition? I'll give 0 for the combined condition, but the rubric lists them as separate bullets? Actually, the rubric says:\n• 3 pts: above both 50DMA and 200DMA\n• 4 pts: 12-1 month price return positive AND beating sector\n• 2 pts: RSI 14 in 40-65 zone\n• 1 pt: MACD bullish cross in last 30 days\nSo only 4+2 = 6 pts for technical. I'll adjust technical to 6. Total 24. Doesn't change outcome. I'll keep it 25 or 24, doesn't matter. I'll stick with 25 for simplicity, or 24. I'll just use 24.\nActually, the prompt says \"above both 50DMA and 200DMA\" as one bullet. I'll give 0 for that.
