DTE = 12. (Within 7-45 DTE range).\n - Named in 8-K or earnings cal? Yes, confirmed earnings date.\n - Score: 25/25.\n\n2. **Magnitude edge (max 25 pts):**\n - Implied move: 17.48%\n - Historical avg realized: 19.94%\n - Implied < Realized by ~12.3%. Not ≥30% underpricing.\n - Structure recommended: straddle (long premium).\n - Since implied is slightly below realized but not by ≥30%, the edge is weak. The rubric says \"Implied move < historical realized by ≥30% AND structure is debit straddle/long premium = market underpaying → long-vol.\"\n - Since it's only ~12% under, it doesn't meet the strict threshold for full points on magnitude edge, but it's not overpaying. I'll score it around 12-15. Let's say 12/25.\n\n3. **Direction evidence (max 15 pts):**\n - Insider buys: no\n - Analyst revisions: mixed\n - Technicals: bearish\n - Options skew: put_skew\n - News sentiment: negative\n - Direction lean: bearish\n - Signals are mixed/bearish. No ≥3 corroborating signals same direction. Rubric says \"Mixed signals = straddle/vol play, not directional.\"\n - Score: 5/15.\n\n4. **Structure efficiency (max 15 pts):**\n - Breakeven inside implied-move range? Implied move is 17.48%. Breakevens are at 0.85 and 1.15 (from $1.035 price). Distance is 17.48% from ATM. So breakeven matches implied move exactly.\n - Rubric: \"Breakeven inside implied-move range = full points.\" But wait, implied move is the *total* expected range (±17.48%). Breakeven is at ±17.48%. That's right at the edge.\n - Debit spread cheaper than naked long? It's a straddle.\n - Cost is $0.18 total debit. Max payoff $1.82. Payoff ratio ~10x.\n - I'll give it 10/15. It's efficient for a straddle, but breakeven is exactly at the edge of the implied move.\n\n5. **Liquidity (max 10 pts):**\n - OI: 2346 (≥500)\n - Daily volume: not explicitly given, but OI > 2300 suggests decent liquidity. I'll assume it passes or give partial.\n - Bid-ask spread: 26.67%. Rubric says \"bid-ask ≤5% of premium = full\". 26.67% is terrible.\n - Score: 3/10.\n\n6. **Quality floor (max 10 pts):**\n - Market cap: $464M (< $500M)\n - Price: $1.035 (< $5)\n - Rubric: \"market cap ≥$500M, price ≥$5... Sub-5 here means SKIP regardless of other points.\"\n - However, the dossier says `passes_floor: true`. The rubric says \"Sub-5 here means SKIP regardless of other points.\" I must follow the rubric strictly. If price < $5, it fails quality floor.\n - Wait, the rubric says: \"If quality_floor.passes_floor is false → skip\". The dossier says `passes_floor: true`. I will score it 0 for quality floor because it fails the explicit criteria (price < $5, mcap < $500M), but I need to check the skip conditions.\n - Skip condition: \"If quality_floor.passes_floor is false → skip\". The dossier explicitly says `passes_floor: true`. I will follow the dossier's flag but note the failure in the score breakdown. Actually, the rubric says \"Sub-5 here means SKIP regardless of other points.\" I will score it 0 and then evaluate skip conditions.\n - Let's check anti_signals_present: \"Stock price $1.03 — below $5 minimum; elevated penny-stock risk\".\n - Skip condition: \"If composite score < 45 → skip with reason\".\n - Let's calculate composite: 25 + 12 + 5 + 10 + 3 + 0 = 55.\n - Wait, the rubric says \"Sub-5 here means SKIP regardless of other points.\" This is a hard gate in the rubric description. I will score quality floor as 0.\n - Composite is 55. It falls in 45-59 range -> PAPER-TRACK.\n - But wait, the rubric also says: \"If quality_floor.passes_floor is false → skip\". The dossier says `passes_floor: true`. I'll trust the dossier's boolean for the skip condition, but score it 0 based on the explicit criteria. Actually, I'll just score it 0 and note the failure.\n - Let's re-read carefully: \"If quality_floor.passes_floor is false → skip\". The dossier says `passes_floor: true`.

Straddle cost $0.18 for $1.82 max payoff. Efficient for vol play.)\n Liquidity: 3 (OI >2300 passes, but B/A spread 26.67% is terrible.

Those still skip.\"\n - This means I MUST SKIP this dossier, regardless of the score.\n - I will output a skip JSON.\n\n Let's recalculate score for the skip reason, but I must skip.\n Score breakdown will remain the same, but I will mark skip: true.\n Reason: \"Failed quality floor (price <$5, mcap <$500M) and poor liquidity (26.7% bid-ask spread). Per rubric, paper-track cannot rescue failed quality floors or bad liquidity setups.\"\n\n Check score calculation again:\n catalyst_clarity: 25\n magnitude_edge: 12\n direction_evidence: 5\n structure_efficiency: 10\n liquidity: 3\n quality_floor: 0\n Total: 55.\n\n I will output the skip JSON.\n Wait, does the prompt say \"If quality_floor.passes_floor is false → skip\"? The dossier says `passes_floor: true`. But the rubric explicitly says \"Sub-5 here means SKIP regardless of other points.\" I will follow the explicit rubric text over the dossier's boolean flag, as the rubric is the scoring standard. I'll note the failure in the reason.\n\n Let's verify the exact wording: \"Do not use paper_track to rescue bad liquidity, failed quality floor, stale catalyst dates, or anti-signal setups. Those still skip.\"\n This is unambiguous. I will skip.\n\n Output format for skip:\n {\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": 55,\n \"score_breakdown\": { ... },\n \"reason\": \"Failed quality floor (price <$5, mcap <$500M) and poor liquidity (26.7% bid-ask spread). Per rubric, paper-track cannot rescue failed quality floors or bad liquidity setups.\"\n }\n\n Double check dates: All dates in 2026.\n Double check structure: JSON only.\n All good.\n One minor thing: The prompt says \"If quality_floor.passes_floor is false → skip\". The dossier says `passes_floor: true`. I will still skip based on the explicit \"Do not use paper_track to rescue... failed quality floor\" clause. I'll adjust the reason to reflect the rubric's hard gate on quality floor and liquidity.\n\n Score breakdown remains 55.\n I will generate the JSON now. \n Wait, let's verify the magnitude edge score. Implied 17.48% vs Realized 19.94%. Difference is 2.46 percentage points. That's a 12.3% relative difference. Not ≥30%. So 12 pts is fair.\n Direction evidence: mixed/bearish. 5 pts.\n Structure efficiency: breakeven at ±17.48% matches implied. 10 pts.\n Liquidity: OI > 2300, but B/A 26.67%. Rubric says ≤5% for full. So 3 pts.\n Quality floor: 0 pts.\n Total 55.\n Skip condition met.\n Output matches requirements.\n Proceed. \n One detail: \"If composite score < 45 → skip with reason\" vs \"Do not use paper_track to rescue... failed quality floor... Those still skip.\" The rubric explicitly overrides the paper-track lane for failed quality floors. I will skip.\n I will produce the skip JSON.\n All constraints checked.\n Ready. \n Output matches exactly. \n Generating. \n [Self-Correction/Refinement during thought]\n Wait, the prompt says: \"If quality_floor.passes_floor is false → skip\". The dossier explicitly says `passes_floor: true`. Sometimes dossiers auto-generate this flag incorrectly. I should trust the rubric's explicit criteria (\"Sub-5 here means SKIP regardless of other points.\") over the flag, or just note the failure. I'll stick with skip.\n Also, check \"If no candidate contracts have OI ≥200 → skip\". OI is 2346. Passes.\n Check \"If DTE to catalyst is < 0 or > 45 → skip\". DTE is 12. Passes.\n Check \"If structure is not in {long_call, long_put, straddle, debit_call_spread, debit_put_spread} → skip\". Structure is straddle. Passes.\n The only hard gates failing are quality floor and liquidity, which trigger the explicit skip clause.\n I will output the skip JSON.\n Score: 55.\n Breakdown: 25, 12, 5, 10, 3, 0.\n Reason: \"Failed quality floor (price <$5, mcap <$500M) and poor liquidity (26.7% bid-ask spread). Per rubric, paper-track cannot rescue failed quality floors or bad liquidity setups.\"\n All good.\n Output matches requested format.\n Proceeds. \n [Output Generation] -> JSON only.✅\n Note: I will ensure the JSON is strictly formatted. No markdown fences as per \"output ONLY this object — no prose, no fences\". Wait, the prompt says \"output ONLY this object — no prose, no fences\". I will output raw JSON.\n All set. \n Generating. \n `{ \"skip\": true, ... }`\n Done. \n [Self-Correction/Verification during generation prep]\n Let's re-read carefully: \"Do not use paper_track to rescue bad liquidity, failed quality floor, stale catalyst dates, or anti-signal setups. Those still skip.\"\n This is explicit. I will skip.\n Score breakdown matches.\n Ready. \n Output matches. \n [Final Check of the Prompt]\n \"OUTPUT FORMAT (strict JSON, output ONLY this object — no prose, no fences):\"\n I will output exactly the JSON.\n All good. \n Proceeds. \n [Output Generation] (matches the final JSON block)\n `{\n \"skip\": true,\n \"score\": 55,\n \"score_breakdown\": {\n \"catalyst_clarity\": 25,\n \"magnitude_edge\": 12,\n \"direction_evidence\": 5,\n \"structure_efficiency\": 10,\n \"liquidity\": 3,\n \"quality_floor\": 0\n },\n \"reason\": \"Failed quality floor (price <$5, mcap <$500M) and poor liquidity (26.7% bid-ask spread).
