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.

      "raw_content": "<think>The dossier is for FLEX (Flex Ltd.), a ~$52B market cap EMS company.\nScout's verdict: `range_bound_or_income`.\nScoring inputs:\n- Smart Money: 0 pts (no open market buys, $18M insider selling).\n- Options Flow: 4 pts (bullish call flow, $1.44M net bias, high OI at $145).\n- Catalyst: 10 pts (earnings in ~6 weeks, 4 consecutive EPS beats). Wait, earnings date is July 22, 2026. Current date in dossier context seems to be around June/July 2026. I'll give 10 pts for earnings within 90 days + 4 consecutive beats. Actually, the rubric says 10 pts for earnings within 90 days AND last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0%. That's met.\n- Mispricing: 0 pts (Forward P/E 21.1, EV/EBITDA 26.5, FCF yield 1.6%. All elevated. No gap).\n- Quality: 5 pts (ROIC 17.3% >= 15%). Gross margin trend null, net debt/EBITDA 2.1 (slightly > 2x, so 0 pts there). Total 5.\n- Technical: 0 pts (RSI 71.9 overbought, MACD no cross, above 50DMA but 200DMA null. 12-1 momentum positive but beating sector? It's +153% vs sector, but RSI is overbought. I'll give 3 pts for above 50DMA, maybe 0 for momentum since it's overextended. Let's stick to strict: 3 pts for above 50DMA. Wait, 12-1 momentum positive AND beating sector = 4 pts. I'll give 4.)\nTotal score: 0 + 4 + 10 + 0 + 5 + 3 = 22.\nWait, let's re-evaluate carefully.\nA. Smart Money: 0. (0 buyers, $18M selling -> penalty -10? Rubric says \"Penalty: −10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\". So 0 - 10 = -10? Or just 0? I'll cap at 0 for the category, or apply penalty. I'll just score 0.)\nB. Options Flow: 4 pts (whale call block, bullish bias, strong flow).\nC. Catalyst: 10 pts (earnings in 90d + 4 beats).\nD. Mispricing: 0 pts.\nE. Quality: 5 pts (ROIC 17.3).\nF. Technical: 3 pts (above 50DMA).\nTotal: ~22.\nAnti-signal gates: `pump_signals`, `dilution`. The rubric 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.\"\nDilution: Amazon warrant $100M equity investment. Not >10% of float. It's a minor overhang. I can note it doesn't breach the >10% gate.\nPump signals: The dossier says \"pump_signals\" in anti_signals_present. I should check if it applies. The stock ran +153% YTD. Could be pump/dump or just AI hype. Given the anti-signal gate, I will skip.\nAlso, the score is well below 60.\nI will skip.\nReason: Scored ~25/100 due to lack of insider buying, elevated valuation, overbought technicals, and anti-signal flags (dilution overhang, pump/dump signals). No asymmetric long or income structure is warranted given the +153% run and lack of catalyst edge.\nLet's calculate score precisely according to rubric.\nA: 0 (no buys, selling > buying -> -10 penalty, but floor is 0? I'll just put 0).\nB: 4 (whale call block, bullish bias).\nC: 10 (earnings <90d + 4 beats).\nD: 0.\nE: 5 (ROIC 17.3%).\nF: 3 (above 50DMA).\nTotal: 22.\nI will output skip JSON.\nCheck structure:\n{\n  \"skip\": true,\n  \"score\": 22,\n  \"score_breakdown\": {\n    \"smart_money\": 0,\n    \"options_flow\": 4,\n    \"catalyst\": 10,\n    \"mispricing\": 0,\n    \"quality\": 5,\n    \"technical\": 3\n  },\n  \"reason\": \"Scored 22/100 due to zero insider buying, heavy insider selling, elevated valuation, and overbought technicals.

I'll apply it to smart_money: 0 - 10 = -10. But scores usually floor at 0. I'll just put 0 or -10. I'll stick to 0 for simplicity, or -10. The prompt says \"sum to max 100\", doesn't specify floor per category. I'll use 0.\nActually, the prompt says \"Score the dossier against the methodology rubric\". I'll just list 0.\nI will output the JSON exactly.\nDouble check the anti-signal gate: \"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.\"\nI will note that the dilution is <$100M warrant (not >10% float) and pump signals are likely just AI momentum, but combined with the low score, skip is definitive.\nAll good.\nOutput matches format.\nProceed. \nOne minor thing: technical pts. \"3 pts: above both 50DMA and 200DMA\" -> it's above 50DMA, 200DMA null. So 0 pts for that bullet. \"4 pts: 12-1 month price return positive AND beating sector\" -> 153.7% vs sector, so 4 pts. \"2 pts: RSI 14 in 40-65 zone\" -> RSI 71.9, so 0. \"1 pt: MACD bullish cross\" -> false, 0.
