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.

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.

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.

The stock jumped ~22%. However, at ~$420 the shares trade near 52-week highs (only ~9.5% below peak) with a forward P/E of ~24.5x versus an estimated sector median of ~18-21x. Organic revenue growth of ~25% is strong but largely priced in — the stock has returned ~125% over the past year and ~60% YTD. Insider open-market buys from three directors on May 4 at $429 are notable but modest in size (~28 shares each). No executive/CEO/CFO buying was identified. The balance sheet carries elevated net debt (D/E of 161%) post-acquisition borrowing ($800M Term Loan B raised January 2026 to fund the Power Solutions acquisition). Customer concentration remains extreme (AT&T = ~25% of revenue; top 3 = ~50%). While BEAD tailwinds and AI-driven fiber/data center demand are genuine long-term catalysts, at this valuation with an RSI at 52 and a bearish MACD cross six bars ago, the setup is not asymmetric. The stock fits best as a candidate for covered-call or strangle income on pullbacks — not a fresh directional long.\",\n  \"verdict\": \"range_bound_or_income\",\n  \"confidence_in_data\": 4,\n  \"structure_hints\": [\n    \"cc\",\n    \"strangle\"\n  ],\n  \"business_snapshot\": \"Dycom Industries (~$12.6B market cap) is the dominant specialty contractor serving U.S. telecom and digital infrastructure, operating 38 companies across all 50 states with ~19,500 employees. The Communications segment (core business) places fiber optic, copper, and coaxial cables for AT&T (~25% of revenue), Verizon (~14%), Charter, Lumen, Comcast, and other telecoms — a market that benefits from federal BEAD broadband funding, AI-driven bandwidth demand, 5G small cell deployment, and ongoing FTTH buildouts. The newer Building Systems segment (added via Power Solutions acquisition in Q4 FY2026) provides electrical, energy management, security, and fire safety systems for data centers — directly targeting hyperscaler demand. Total backlog as of January 2026 was $9.54B ($6.36B expected to be earned within 12 months), with ~24.7% organic growth in Q1 FY2027 excluding acquisitions. The company is highly cyclical, weather-dependent (winter/spring quarters see reduced profitability), and has historically struggled during telecom capex downturns — but current demand is near peak-cycle driven by AI infrastructure buildouts.\",\n  \"scoring_inputs\": {\n    \"smart_money\": {\n      \"insider_open_market_purchases_90d\": [\n        {\n          \"insider\": \"Raejeanne Skillern\",\n          \"role\": \"Director\",\n          \"amount_usd\": 17608,\n          \"date\": \"2026-05-04\",\n          \"source_url\": \"https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/67215/000194668426000011/xslF345X06/primarydocument.xml\"\n        },\n        {\n          \"insider\": \"Stephen O.

Not enough data, but no explicit mention. (0 pts)\n- net_dollar_bias_pct > 30? Net call notional $78K vs put $14.7K. That's ~84% call bias. (+2 pts)\n- large OI building at defended price? Calls at $500/$510, puts at $400/$380. Not explicitly \"large OI building at defended price level\" but implies structure. I'll give 0 or 1.
