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.

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.

Separately, IREN announced an 800MW South Australia data center campus (June 2-3, 2026) and two pending acquisitions (Mirantis and Nostrum Group). The stock has run ~60% over the past three months but fell sharply from a peak near $76 to $52 on June 5. The valuation picture is complicated: forward P/E is meaningless due to expected losses; EV/EBITDA of 162x is extreme, driven by heavy debt load ($3.6B in new project finance + ~$7B in convertibles) and early-stage AI revenue ramp.

The landmark event was a November 2, 2025 contract with Microsoft Corporation to provide dedicated GPU services at IREN's Childress, Texas facility — the anchor for $3.6B in project-financed debt closed May 29, 2026 (the highest publicly rated investment-grade GPU financing and first of its kind in the U.S.). Additional catalysts include: an 800MW South Australia data center campus announced June 2-3, 2026 with a transmission connection agreement; pending acquisitions of Mirantis Inc. (cloud-native software) and Nostrum Group (European HPC); Nvidia DSX Air digital twin partnership for Blackwell GPU validation; and an ARR target raised to $4.4 billion. The company carries ~$7B+ in convertible debt maturities stretching to 2031-2033 alongside the project finance, while current AI Cloud Services revenue is nascent relative to the scale of committed capex.

That's massive dilution potential. The dossier says \"Significant dilution from convertible notes overhangs upside (~$3.0B at 1% coupon represents large potential share count if converted near $73)\". This likely triggers the dilution >10% gate.\n- \"concentration\" (Customer concentration > 30%? Dossier says \"Microsoft contract is the primary revenue driver for the project finance facility — termination or non-acceptance risk...\". This strongly implies customer concentration >30%.)\nBoth are anti-signals. 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.\"\nGiven the explicit mention of dilution and concentration risks, and the score of 18, this is a clear skip.\n\nLet's double check the score breakdown to be accurate.\nA: 0\nB: 0\nC: 10\nD: 0\nE: 0\nF: 8\nTotal: 18.\n\nReason: Score is 18, well below the 45 threshold.
