  "system_prompt": "You are Analyst, the thesis-judgment stage of an AI trade-ideas pipeline.\n\nScout has already gathered a JSON dossier of scoring_inputs. Your job is to\nSCORE the dossier against the methodology rubric and either draft a\nhigh-conviction idea, draft a clearly labeled paper-tracked research idea,\nor skip.\n\nOPTION B (skip) IS THE EXPECTED DEFAULT. The pipeline publishes normal\nrecommendation-grade ideas rarely and only when something clears a high bar.\nMost dossiers should return\n{ \"skip\": true, \"reason\": \"...\", \"score\": <num> }. Mediocre publishes burn\nDevil's Advocate budget and create credibility risk on the public site.\nPaper-tracked ideas are a separate measurement lane: they are zero-position,\nlow-confidence research setups used to learn whether the model's medium-grade\nsignals work over time. They must never read like a buy/sell recommendation.\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. Position sizing is far more conservative\n                   to fit the variance.\n\nTHRESHOLDS — depend on risk_class\n\n  CORE risk_class:\n   ≥ 80    Publish, confidence 5, position size cap 4-5%\n   70-79   Publish, confidence 4, position size cap 2.5-3.0%\n   60-69   Publish, confidence 3, position size cap 1.5-2.0%\n   45-59   Paper-track if no hard anti-signal and the thesis is specific,\n           measurable, and falsifiable; otherwise skip\n   < 45    Skip\n\n  ASYMMETRIC risk_class — strict sizing:\n   ≥ 80    Publish, confidence 5, position size cap 1.5%\n   70-79   Publish, confidence 4, position size cap 1.0%\n   60-69   Publish, confidence 3, position size cap 0.5%\n   45-59   Paper-track only if there is a concrete dated catalyst or\n           measurable event path; otherwise skip\n   < 45    Skip\n   Structure must be long_stock (options structures are wrong shape for\n   moonshots; Compliance enforces this in code).\n\nANTI-SIGNAL GATES (any one of these forces skip regardless of score):\n   • Going-concern audit qualification\n   • Pending material litigation (DOJ/SEC enforcement, class action with merit)\n   • Customer concentration > 30%\n   • Convertible/warrant overhang creating dilution > 10% of float\n   • Accounting irregularities (restatements, auditor changes)\n   • Avg daily volume < $5M (liquidity gate)\n   • Pump-and-dump signals (sudden volume + chat-room mentions)\n\nIf scoring_inputs has anti_signals_present non-empty, treat each entry as a\ngate; skip unless you can articulate WHY it doesn't apply to this case.\n\nEDGE CHECK (philosophical, not numeric)\n\nAfter scoring, ask: \"What does this idea say that the market doesn't already\nknow?\" If the answer is generic (it's cheap, AI is a tailwind, technicals\nlook great), the score is misleading — skip even if numerical score is 65.\nReal edge means a specific data point or interpretation the market missed.\n\nPAPER-TRACKING LANE (educational measurement, not advice)\n\nUse this lane for score 45-59 dossiers that are not strong enough for a\nnormal publication but are specific enough to evaluate later. Requirements:\n   • draft.paper_track MUST be true\n   • headline MUST begin with \"Paper Track:\"\n   • thesis_short MUST explicitly say this is a paper-tracked research setup,\n     not an actionable recommendation\n   • risk.position_size_pct MUST be 0\n   • confidence MUST be 1 or 2 (2 only when score ≥55)\n   • exit.time_horizon_months MUST be present so Monitor can close it\n   • use long_stock unless the dossier gives complete, current option\n     contract data for the chosen income structure\n\nDo not paper-track dossiers with methodology anti-signals, stale numbers,\nmissing sources, unverified catalyst dates, or generic \"cheap/AI/tailwind\"\nstories. Skip those.\n\nUPSIDE TARGET\n\nThe desk is looking for setups with a plausible 20%+ return target. For\nlong_stock, exit.target_price should be at least 20% above entry.price_at_idea\nunless the idea is explicitly a paper-tracked post-event study. If the\nsource-backed upside is less than 20%, skip rather than publishing a low-upside\nidea.\n\nSCOUT VERDICT → STRUCTURE GUIDANCE\n\nRead scoring_inputs and Scout's verdict together. 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. Strangles only when you have a clear range thesis backed by IV\nand fundamentals.\n\nIF YOU SKIP — output exactly:\n  {\n    \"skip\": true,\n    \"score\": <0-100 composite>,\n    \"score_breakdown\": {\n      \"smart_money\": <0-25>, \"options_flow\": <0-10>, \"catalyst\": <0-25>,\n      \"mispricing\": <0-15>, \"quality\": <0-15>, \"technical\": <0-10>\n    },\n    \"reason\": \"1-2 sentences why this dossier doesn't support a thesis.\"\n  }\n\nIF YOU PROCEED — output a draft idea matching this schema (this is the same\nschema the published site renders from):\n\n{\n  \"skip\": false,\n  \"score\": <0-100 composite>,\n  \"score_breakdown\": {\n    \"smart_money\": <0-25>, \"options_flow\": <0-10>, \"catalyst\": <0-25>,\n    \"mispricing\": <0-15>, \"quality\": <0-15>, \"technical\": <0-10>\n  },\n  \"draft\": {\n    \"slug\": \"YYYY-MM-DD-symbol-keyphrase\",\n    \"paper_track\": false,\n    \"symbol\": \"TICKER\",\n    \"company\": \"Full name\",\n    \"sector\": \"semis-ai-infra\" | \"small-cap-asymmetric\",\n    \"risk_class\": \"core\" | \"asymmetric\",\n    \"headline\": \"Punchy 1-line — the news angle on the thesis\",\n    \"thesis_short\": \"1 sentence — why this trade exists.\",\n    \"thesis_long\": [\n      \"Opening paragraph framing the setup.\",\n      \"## Catalyst\",\n      \"Detailed catalyst narrative.\",\n      \"## Why the market is mispricing this\",\n      \"Edge explanation, citing dossier facts.\",\n      \"## Numbers\",\n      \"- Bullet 1 with concrete numbers from the dossier\",\n      \"- Bullet 2\",\n      \"## Risk\",\n      \"Honest description of what could go wrong.\"\n    ],\n    \"structure\": {\n      \"type\": \"long_stock\" | \"csp\" | \"cc\" | \"strangle\" | \"naked_put\" | \"naked_call\",\n      \"long_stock\":   { \"entry_zone_low\": <num>, \"entry_zone_high\": <num>, \"shares_per_unit\": 100 },\n      \"csp\":          { \"strike\": <num>, \"expiry\": \"YYYY-MM-DD\", \"premium_target\": <num>, \"annualized_yield_pct\": <num>, \"if_assigned_basis\": <num> },\n      \"cc\":           { \"underlying_basis\": <num>, \"strike\": <num>, \"expiry\": \"YYYY-MM-DD\", \"premium_target\": <num>, \"if_called_return_pct\": <num> },\n      \"strangle\":     { \"call_strike\": <num>, \"put_strike\": <num>, \"expiry\": \"YYYY-MM-DD\", \"call_premium_target\": <num>, \"put_premium_target\": <num>, \"total_premium_target\": <num>, \"breakeven_high\": <num>, \"breakeven_low\": <num>, \"annualized_yield_pct\": <num>, \"max_loss_note\": \"...\" },\n      \"naked_put\":    { \"strike\": <num>, \"expiry\": \"YYYY-MM-DD\", \"premium_target\": <num>, \"annualized_yield_pct\": <num>, \"max_loss_per_contract\": <num>, \"margin_estimate_per_contract\": <num>, \"warning\": \"...\" },\n      \"naked_call\":   { \"strike\": <num>, \"expiry\": \"YYYY-MM-DD\", \"premium_target\": <num>, \"annualized_yield_pct\": <num>, \"max_loss\": \"UNLIMITED\", \"warning\": \"...\" }\n    },\n    \"entry\": {\n      \"price_at_idea\": <last_close from dossier>,\n      \"conditions\": \"How/when to enter — e.g., 'Open starter on pullback to MA50.'\"\n    },\n    \"exit\": {\n      \"target_price\": <num or null for options structures>,\n      \"time_horizon_months\": <int 3-12>,\n      \"stop_conditions\": \"Specific signal(s) that trigger a close.\"\n    },\n    \"risk\": {\n      \"bear_case\": \"Honest, specific bear case (not generic 'market could fall').\",\n      \"what_breaks_thesis\": \"Specific event/data that invalidates the call.\",\n      \"position_size_pct\": <0.0 for paper_track, otherwise 0.5 to 5.0 conviction-weighted>\n    },\n    \"sources\": [\n      { \"label\": \"...\", \"url\": \"...\" }\n    ],\n    \"confidence\": <1-5, conservative>,\n    \"analyst\": \"research-desk\",\n    \"scout_model\": \"minimax/minimax-m2.7\",\n    \"analyst_model\": \"qwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b\",\n    \"devils_advocate_verdict\": null\n  }\n}\n\nONLY ONE STRUCTURE TYPE.

      "raw_content": "<think>The dossier is for BAH (Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation).\nScout verdict: `range_bound_or_income`\nMarket cap: ~$9.4B -> `core` risk class.\nAnti-signals present: `[\"concentration\", \"dilution\"]`\nLet's check the anti-signal gates:\n- Customer concentration > 30%: The dossier says \"all six branches of the military, intelligence agencies... and civil agencies as customers.\" It doesn't explicitly state a single customer >30%, but \"concentration\" is flagged. Usually, gov-con companies have high gov concentration but not necessarily single-customer >30%. However, the gate 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.\"\n- Dilution: Dossier mentions \"Share repurchases ($486M YTD through Dec 2025) are funding the dividend at the expense of balance sheet deleveraging\" and \"Convertible/warrant overhang creating dilution > 10% of float\" is the gate. The anti-signal just says \"dilution\". I need to check if it's material. The dossier doesn't give a specific dilution number >10%, but says \"dilution\" is an anti-signal. I will treat it cautiously. Actually, the prompt 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.\" I can argue that \"concentration\" refers to government vs single customer, and \"dilution\" is not >10% float. But to be safe, I might skip if the anti-signals are strong.\nWait, let's score it first.\n\nScoring:\nA. SMART-MONEY: 0 (no insider buys, pending 13F/politician). 0 pts.\nB. OPTIONS FLOW: 0 (put/call 1.87, no whale blocks, IV data quality issue). 0 pts.\nC. CATALYST: Earnings within 90 days (July 24). Last 4 quarters' EPS surprise: Q4 +33%, Q3 -1.4%, Q2 +37%. Only 2 > 0. So not 10 pts. Pending product launch? Vellox/Sit(x)R in FY27. 5 pts for product? Or 5 pts for guidance raise? No guidance raise. Let's give 5 pts for quantifiable sector tailwind (DoD budget/AI modernization) or product. Actually, catalyst says \"recent guidance raise (last 90d): false\". \"pending product launch...\": Vellox is early. I'll give 5 pts for sector tailwind + product trajectory. Or just 5 pts. Cap 25. Let's give 5.\nD. MISPRICING: Fwd P/E 11.54 vs sector median null. But narrative says \"significant discount to defense tech peers (CACI ~18x, Leidos ~16x)\". That's >20% below. 5 pts. FCF yield 8.3% with stable FCF. 4 pts. EV/EBITDA 10.24 vs sector median null. Narrative says discount. I'll give 5 pts. Cap 15. So 10 pts.\nE. QUALITY: ROIC 80.74% -> 5 pts. Gross margin trend null -> 0. Net debt/EBITDA 2.87 -> >2x, so 0. Total 5 pts.\nF. MOMENTUM/TECHNICAL: Above 50DMA (3), above 200DMA false (0), RSI 54 (2), MACD bullish cross (1). 12-1 momentum null. Total 6 pts.\n\nTotal Score: 0 + 0 + 5 + 10 + 5 + 6 = 26.\nWait, let's re-evaluate catalyst. \"earnings within 90 days AND last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0%\" -> needs all 4 > 0. It has Q3 -1.4%. So 0 pts for that.\n\"pending product launch / FDA / contract milestone in horizon\" -> Vellox/Sit(x)R in FY27. 8 pts? Maybe.\n\"recent guidance raise\" -> false.\n\"quantifiable sector tailwind\" -> 5 pts.\nTotal catalyst: 8 pts? Let's stick with 8.\nScore ~ 33.\n\nAnti-signals: concentration, dilution. I will skip.\nReason: Anti-signal gate triggered for customer concentration and dilution risk without sufficient mitigation data; score falls well below publication threshold (33/100) due to absent smart-money support, muted technicals, and elevated leverage (2.9x net debt/EBITDA) in a declining-revenue environment.\n\nLet's double check the anti-signal rule: \"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 can articulate: Concentration refers to government-wide exposure rather than a single >30% customer; dilution is not >10% of float. However, the score is low anyway. I'll just skip based on score and anti-signals.\n\nWait, the prompt says: \"OPTION B (skip) IS THE EXPECTED DEFAULT.\"\nI will output skip.\n\nLet's calculate score carefully:\nA: 0\nB: 0\nC: 5 (sector tailwind)\nD: 10 (PE discount + FCF yield)\nE: 5 (ROIC)\nF: 6 (above 50DMA, RSI, MACD)\nTotal: 26.\n\nI will output skip with score 26.\nCheck structure:\n{\n  \"skip\": true,\n  \"score\": 26,\n  \"score_breakdown\": {\n    \"smart_money\": 0,\n    \"options_flow\": 0,\n    \"catalyst\": 5,\n    \"mispricing\": 10,\n    \"quality\": 5,\n    \"technical\": 6\n  },\n  \"reason\": \"Score falls well below the publication threshold (26/100) due to absent smart-money support, muted technicals, and elevated leverage (2.9x net debt/EBITDA) in a declining-revenue environment. Anti-signal gates for customer concentration and dilution also remain unresolved.\"\n}\n\nWait, let's verify D scoring: \"forward P/E ≥ 20% below sector median\" -> sector median is null in inputs, but narrative says CACI ~18x, Leidos ~16x. 11.5 is ~28% below 16x. So 5 pts. FCF yield 8.3% -> 4 pts. Total 9. I'll stick with 10 for mispricing (gave 5 for PE, 4 for FCF, maybe 1 for EV/EBITDA discount narrative). Actually, cap is 15. I'll give 9.\nLet's adjust to 25 or 26. It doesn't matter much, it's a skip.\n\nI will produce exactly the skip JSON.\nCheck date rules: not applicable for skip.\nCheck format: valid JSON only.\nReady. \nOne minor thing: The prompt 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.\" I will mention that in the reason.\nAll good.\nOutput matches requirement. \nProceed. \nSelf-Correction/Refinement during thought: \nCould there be an income structure that fits? Scout verdict is range_bound_or_income. Structure hints: csp, cc, strangle. But score is 26. Threshold for core is 45 for paper-track.
