  "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.

Smart Money: 0 pts (no insider buying, pending 13F, no politician buys mentioned yet). Score: 0.\nB. Options Flow / UOA: ATM IV elevated. Near-dated July 2 expiry: bullish positioning on 135 call. Net directional flow +55% bullish. Put OI heavy at 80/90 (hedging). Score: 2 pts (net_dollar_bias_pct > 30? +55% is >30, so 2 pts. Also 1 pt for OI at defended level? Put OI at 90 is defensive, not necessarily a defended price level for a bull thesis, but let's give 2 pts for flow bias). Actually, flow is +55% bullish, so 2 pts. Total B: 2.\nC. Catalyst: Next earnings 2026-07-31. Q1 beat +38%, Q4 beat +12.9%. Pattern volatile. No guidance raise. Named catalyst: Cigar Lake stake increase (M&A), production resumption, AI/nuclear tailwind. Score: 5 pts (recent guidance raise? No. quantifiable sector tailwind? AI data center power demand driving nuclear baseload interest. Let's give 5 pts for sector tailwind, or maybe 8 pts for pending catalyst? The M&A is a concrete catalyst. I'll give 8 pts for pending M&A/production resumption). Actually, catalyst max is 25. I'll give 8 for pending catalyst (M&A/production).\nD. Mispricing: Forward P/E 58.72, EV/EBITDA 54.8. Extremely elevated. FCF yield 1.27%. SOTP null. Score: 0.\nE. Quality: Net debt/EBITDA 0.79 (≤2x). Score: 5 pts. ROIC and gross margin null.\nF. Technical: Above 200DMA (true), below 50DMA (false). RSI 50.8. MACD bullish cross. Score: 1 pt (MACD cross). Maybe 3 pts for above 200DMA? It says above 200DMA is true, so 3 pts. Total F: 4.\n\nTotal Score: 0 + 2 + 8 + 0 + 5 + 4 = 19.\nWait, let's recalculate carefully.\nA: 0\nB: 2 (net_dollar_bias_pct > 30)\nC: 8 (pending catalyst: M&A + production resumption)\nD: 0\nE: 5 (net debt/EBITDA ≤ 2x)\nF: 4 (above 200DMA + MACD bullish cross)\nTotal: 19.\n\nThresholds for CORE: <45 -> Skip.\nAlso, the dossier explicitly says: \"forward P/E of ~59x and EV/EBITDA of ~54x are extremely elevated... priced for perfection... leaves essentially zero room for any production disappointment\".\nScout verdict is `range_bound_or_income`, meaning no asymmetric long opportunity.\nThe valuation is terrible. The score is well below 45.\nAnti-signals: none.\nEdge check: \"What does this idea say that the market doesn't already know?\" The market knows it's priced for perfection. The income thesis (CC) is the only play, but with a score of 19, it's not strong enough to publish. Even if we tried a CC, the valuation risk is too high for a recommendation-grade idea. The pipeline says \"Mediocre publishes burn Devil's Advocate budget\".\nI will skip.\n\nLet's double check the scoring rubric.\nA: 0\nB: 2\nC: 8\nD: 0\nE: 5\nF: 4\nSum: 19.\nReason: \"Extremely elevated valuation (59x F/P/E, 55x EV/EBITDA) leaves no margin of safety, and Scout's range-bound verdict confirms lack of asymmetric upside.

The dossier says \"net directional flow +55% bullish at Jul-17 expiry\". So +2 pts.\nC scoring: \"8 pts: pending product launch / FDA / contract milestone in horizon\" or \"5 pts: quantifiable sector tailwind\". I'll give 8 for the M&A/production resumption catalyst.\nE scoring: \"5 pts: net debt / EBITDA ≤ 2x\". Score 5.\nF scoring: \"3 pts: above both 50DMA and 200DMA\" (only above 200DMA, so 0 for that). \"4 pts: 12-1 month price return positive AND beating sector\" (unknown/null). \"2 pts: RSI 14 in 40-65 zone\" (50.8 -> yes, 2 pts). \"1 pt: MACD bullish cross in last 30 days\" (yes, 1 pt). Total F: 3.\nSum: 0+2+8+0+5+3 = 18.\nI'll stick with ~19. It's clearly <45.\n\nOne detail: The dossier says \"verdict='range_bound_or_income'\". The prompt says: \"Even when Scout says 'no asymmetric long opportunity exists' (verdict=range_bound_or_income), there may be a clear INCOME structure... Don't reflex-skip just because long_stock isn't attractive.\"\nHowever, the score is 19. The threshold for publication is 45 for paper-track, and much higher for publication. The prompt says \"Most dossiers should return { skip: true, ... }\". I will skip.\n\nLet's construct the JSON carefully.\nScore breakdown:\nsmart_money: 0\noptions_flow: 2\ncatalyst: 8\nmispricing: 0\nquality: 5\ntechnical: 3\nTotal: 18.\n\nReason: \"Valuation is extremely stretched (59x F/P/E, 55x EV/EBITDA) with no margin of safety, and Scout's range-bound verdict confirms a lack of asymmetric upside. The composite score of 18 falls well below the 45-point threshold for publication or paper-tracking.\"\n\nCheck date rules: Not writing any dates in the skip output.\nCheck format: Only valid JSON.\nAll good.\nProceed. \nWait, let's verify F scoring again. \n\"3 pts: above both 50DMA and 200DMA\" -> only above 200DMA, so 0.\n\"4 pts: 12-1 month price return positive AND beating sector\" -> null, so 0.\n\"2 pts: RSI 14 in 40-65 zone\" -> 50.8 is in 40-65, so 2.\n\"1 pt: MACD bullish cross in last 30 days\" -> 1.\nTotal F = 3.\nSum = 18.\nI will output 18.\n\nOne minor thing: The prompt says \"CAP at 25 even if components add to more\" for catalyst. I gave 8.\nEverything matches.\nOutput matches schema.\nDone. \nLet's generate. \nSelf-Correction/Refinement during thought: \nShould I consider the income structure (CC) since Scout hinted at it? The prompt says \"Even when Scout says 'no asymmetric long opportunity exists'... there may be a clear INCOME structure... Don't reflex-skip just because long_stock isn't attractive.\" \nBut the scoring rubric is designed to filter this. A score of 18 is very low. The income structure would require high IV and a specific strike. The dossier mentions ATM IV 30-50%, but the valuation risk (59x F/P/E) makes even an income trade risky if the underlying collapses. The prompt says \"Most dossiers should return skip\". I will stick with skip. The score is objectively low. I'll output the skip JSON.\nAll constraints met.\nProceed. \nOutput matches requested format exactly.\n```json\n{\n  \"skip\": true,\n  \"score\": 18,\n  \"score_breakdown\": {\n    \"smart_money\": 0,\n    \"options_flow\": 2,\n    \"catalyst\": 8,\n    \"mispricing\": 0,\n    \"quality\": 5,\n    \"technical\": 3\n  },\n  \"reason\": \"Extremely stretched valuation (59x forward P/E, 55x EV/EBITDA) leaves zero margin of safety, and Scout's range-bound verdict confirms a lack of asymmetric upside.

It says above 200DMA is true, below 50DMA is false. So 0 pts for that condition.\n\"2 pts: RSI 14 in 40-65 zone\" -> 50.8 -> 2 pts.\n\"1 pt: MACD bullish cross in last 30 days\" -> 1 pt.\nTotal F = 3. Correct.\nCheck C scoring: \"8 pts: pending product launch / FDA / contract milestone in horizon\". The M&A/production resumption fits. I'll give 8.\nCheck B scoring: \"2 pts: net_dollar_bias_pct > 30\". Flow is +55% bullish. So 2 pts.\nCheck E scoring: \"5 pts: net debt / EBITDA ≤ 2x\". It's 0.79.
