  "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. SMART-MONEY CLUSTER (max 25) — from scoring_inputs.smart_money\n   • 10 pts if 3+ distinct insiders with open-market purchases (code P) in\n     last 90 days totaling ≥ $500K\n   • +3 pts if CEO is among the buyers\n   • +3 pts if CFO is among the buyers\n   • +2 pts if total purchases > $5M\n   • 5 pts for a known concentrated 13F initiation/add (Berkshire, Pershing\n     Square, Appaloosa, Greenlight, Scion, Polen, Pabrai, Tepper, etc.)\n   • +3 pts if it's in the manager's top-3 positions\n   • 2 pts for politician STOCK Act recent buy\n   • +1 pt if multiple unrelated members bought within 30 days\n   • Penalty: −10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\n\nB. OPTIONS FLOW / UOA (max 10) — from scoring_inputs.options_flow\n   • 4 pts: whale_call_blocks_otm ≥ 2 with flow_directional_bias = bullish\n     and flow_strength ∈ {moderate, strong}\n   • 3 pts: bullish IV skew (call IV > put IV) consistent with thesis\n   • 2 pts: net_dollar_bias_pct > 30 (sustained call-side flow)\n   • 1 pt: large OI building at a defended price level\n   • Penalty: −5 pts if whale_put_blocks_otm ≥ 2 and bias is bearish\n     without a hedging explanation\n\nC. CATALYST (max 25) — from scoring_inputs.catalyst\n   • 10 pts: earnings within 90 days AND last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0%\n   • 8 pts: pending product launch / FDA / contract milestone in horizon\n   • 5 pts: recent guidance raise (last 90 days)\n   • 5 pts: quantifiable sector tailwind (named hyperscaler capex flowing\n     to this name in $)\n   Cap at 25 even if components add to more.\n\nD. MISPRICING (max 15) — from scoring_inputs.mispricing\n   • 5 pts: forward P/E ≥ 20% below sector median (with non-deteriorating\n     earnings)\n   • 4 pts: EV/EBITDA ≥ 30% below sector median\n   • 4 pts: FCF yield ≥ 7% with stable FCF\n   • 5 pts: SOTP gap ≥ 25% (replaces one of the above)\n   Cap at 15.\n\nE. QUALITY (max 15) — from scoring_inputs.quality\n   • 5 pts: ROIC ≥ 15% (or trending there)\n   • 5 pts: gross margin expanding ≥ 3pp YoY\n   • 5 pts: net debt / EBITDA ≤ 2x (or net cash)\n\nF. MOMENTUM/TECHNICAL (max 10) — from scoring_inputs.technical\n   • 3 pts: above both 50DMA and 200DMA\n   • 4 pts: 12-1 month price return positive AND beating sector\n   • 2 pts: RSI 14 in 40-65 zone\n   • 1 pt: MACD bullish cross in last 30 days\n\nRISK CLASS — choose one based on the dossier's market_cap field:\n   \"core\"        — market_cap > $5B. 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. Look at IV elevated → strangle;\n                                      stock at 52w high, fundamentals healthy\n                                      → cc against implicit long; pullback\n                                      thesis with cash → csp)\n  verdict='bearish_setup'          → naked_call (rarely; respect ceiling)\n\nIf Scout supplied structure_hints[], they're a starting point. 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 ANET (Arista Networks).\nScout verdict: `range_bound_or_income`\nMarket cap: $194B -> `core` risk class.\nAnti-signals present: `[\"concentration\", \"pump_signals\"]`\nWait, the anti-signal \"concentration\" refers to \"Customer concentration > 30%\". The dossier says: \"two customers accounting for 26% and 16% of FY2025 revenue respectively\". That's 42% total. So customer concentration > 30% is present.\nThe anti-signal \"pump_signals\" is listed, but the dossier says \"pump-and-dump signals (sudden volume + chat-room mentions)\" is the gate. The dossier says `anti_signals_present: [\"concentration\", \"pump_signals\"]`. I should treat this as a hard gate for concentration > 30%.\nAlso, the dossier says: \"Valuation risk: at 34.7x forward P/E, stock has limited margin of safety if growth slows or competition intensifies\". \"No mispricing exists\".\nScoring:\nA. Smart Money: 0 pts (no open market purchases, 0 insiders. Penalty? -10 for material insider selling > buying? It says $2.5M selling, 0 buying. So -10? Or just 0. I'll give 0.)\nB. Options Flow: 0 pts (no whale blocks, weak bias, IV elevated but no clear edge)\nC. Catalyst: 10 pts (earnings within 90 days, last 4 quarters EPS surprise > 0%) + 5 pts (guidance raise) = 15 pts. Cap 25.\nD. Mispricing: 0 pts (Forward P/E is ABOVE sector median, EV/EBITDA above, FCF yield 2.25%, no SOTP gap)\nE. Quality: 5 pts (ROIC 31.52%) + 5 pts (gross margin stable/expanding? It says stable at 63.5%, not expanding >= 3pp. I'll give 5 for ROIC). Maybe 5.\nF. Technical: 3 pts (above 50DMA and 200DMA) + 2 pts (RSI 48.3) + 1 pt (MACD bullish cross) = 6 pts.\nTotal score: ~26.\nAnti-signal: Customer concentration > 30% (42%). This is a hard gate.\nAlso, the dossier explicitly says \"No mispricing exists\" and \"The setup warrants a structured-income thesis rather than any directional long.\" But for income, we need elevated IV and a clear range. IV is 58-60%, which is elevated. But the concentration anti-signal and lack of edge/mispricing strongly point to SKIP.\nEdge Check: \"What does this idea say that the market doesn't already know?\" -> Nothing material. AI tailwinds are priced in. Concentration risk is known.\nTherefore, SKIP.\n\nLet's calculate score carefully:\nA: 0\nB: 0\nC: 15\nD: 0\nE: 5\nF: 6\nTotal: 26.\nReason: Customer concentration >30% triggers a hard anti-signal gate; additionally, the stock trades at a significant premium to sector medinals with no discernible mispricing or asymmetric catalyst, making it unsuitable for publication or paper-tracking.\n\nCheck thresholds: <45 Skip.\nOutput exactly the skip JSON.\nStructure:\n{\n  \"skip\": true,\n  \"score\": 26,\n  \"score_breakdown\": {\n    \"smart_money\": 0,\n    \"options_flow\": 0,\n    \"catalyst\": 15,\n    \"mispricing\": 0,\n    \"quality\": 5,\n    \"technical\": 6\n  },\n  \"reason\": \"Customer concentration exceeding 30% triggers a hard anti-signal gate; furthermore, the stock trades at a steep premium to sector medians with no identifiable mispricing or asymmetric catalyst to justify a thesis.\"\n}\nDouble check the prompt: \"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 articulate that the 42% concentration is a known, unresolvable structural risk that violates the concentration gate, and the premium valuation removes any mispricing edge.\nAll good.\nProceed. \nOutput matches exactly. \nOne minor point: the prompt says \"pump_signals\" is in anti_signals_present.
