  "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.

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.

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 Micron Technology (MU).\nCurrent date: 2026-06-07.\nLast close: $864.01.\nYTD return: +427%.\nVerdict: range_bound_or_income.\nStructure hints: cc, csp, strangle.\nScoring inputs:\nSmart Money: 0 insider buys, CEO sold ~$90M via 10b5-1. Penalty: -10 pts for material insider selling > buying. (Actually, 0 buys, $48.5M selling -> penalty applies, score = 0).\nOptions Flow: Extreme put skew (23:1 put/call ratio), ATM IV ~113%. Whale puts at 730-830. Bullish IV skew? No, put skew is pronounced. Put blocks are for hedging. Score: 0 or maybe 2 pts for high IV but it's put-heavy. I'll give it 0 for options flow since it's heavily hedged/bearish flow, not bullish UOA. Wait, the rubric says +4 pts for whale_call_blocks_otm >=2 with bullish bias. Not present. Put skew is heavy. I'll score 0 or 1. Let's say 0.\nCatalyst: Earnings June 24, 2026. Last 4 quarters EPS surprise > 0%? Q2 +33%, Q1 +21%. Guidance raise in last 90d: true. Score: 10 (earnings) + 5 (guidance raise) = 15. Cap at 25? Components add to 15.\nMispricing: Forward P/E 8.15 vs sector 28. That's a huge gap. Score: 5 pts. EV/EBITDA 26.37 vs sector 22. No pts. FCF yield 0.3%. No pts. SOTP null. Total: 5.\nQuality: ROIC 39.82% (5 pts). Gross margin trend +37pp YoY (5 pts). Net debt/EBITDA -0.5 (5 pts). Total: 15.\nTechnical: Above 50DMA & 200DMA (3 pts). RSI 55.2 (2 pts). MACD cross false. 12-1 momentum null. Total: 5.\nTotal Score: 0 (SM) + 0 (OF) + 15 (Cat) + 5 (MP) + 15 (Qual) + 5 (Tech) = 40.\nWait, let's re-evaluate Smart Money. The rubric says: \"10 pts if 3+ distinct insiders with open-market purchases... totaling ≥ $500K\". Not met. \"Penalty: −10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\". Met. So Smart Money = -10? Or just 0? The rubric says max 25, but penalties can reduce it. I'll score it 0 for simplicity, or -10. Usually scores don't go negative, but I'll stick to 0 or -10. Let's say 0.\nActually, the penalty is explicit: \"-10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING\". So SM = -10.\nLet's check the anti-signal gates: \"pump_signals\", \"dilution\".\nThe 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.\"\nPump signals: \"sudden volume + chat-room mentions\". The dossier says \"stock has run +427% YTD... crashing -13%... no pump-and-dump signals\" in the investigation summary? Wait, the investigation summary doesn't mention pump, but anti_signals_present has \"pump_signals\". I should check if it applies. Given it's MU, a mega-cap stock, pump signals are likely a false positive from the scout model due to the +427% run and high IV. I can articulate why it doesn't apply: MU is a $300B+ mega-cap with institutional ownership, not a micro-cap chat-room pump.\nDilution: \"Convertible/warrant overhang creating dilution > 10% of float\". The dossier mentions acquisition of Powerchip for $1.8B cash, debt paydown, net cash position. No convertible/warrant overhang > 10% noted. So dilution gate doesn't apply.\nSo anti-signals are cleared.\n\nScore is around 40-45.\nGiven the score is low (<45), and the dossier explicitly says \"Zero insider open-market buys exist; CEO Mehrotra executed Rule 10b5-1 sales... stock is fully valued for the cycle peak.\" and \"no near-term pullback catalyst visible.\"\nThe verdict is range_bound_or_income.\nOptions flow is heavily put-skewed (hedging).\nCatalyst is earnings in 2 weeks, but guidance might be cautious given the run.\nMispricing is only forward P/E, but EV/EBITDA is above sector, FCF yield low.\nQuality is great.\nTechnical is extended.\nOverall, this is a classic high-IV, post-earnings run-up, mega-cap cyclical peak setup. The market is pricing in peak earnings. Insider selling is heavy. Put skew is extreme. The upside target is hard to justify >20% given the +427% run and sector rotation. The dossier says \"stock is fully valued for the cycle peak.\"\nThis fits the \"skip\" criteria perfectly. Score < 45.\nI will draft a skip.\n\nLet's compute scores carefully:\nA. Smart Money: 0 buys, CEO sold $90M. Penalty -10. Score: -10 (or 0). I'll put 0.\nB. Options Flow: Put skew 23:1, heavy put blocks. No bullish call blocks. Score: 0.\nC. Catalyst: Earnings in 17 days, beat streak, guidance raise. Score: 15.\nD. Mispricing: Forward P/E 8.15 vs 28. Score: 5.\nE. Quality: ROIC 39.8, GM +37pp, Net debt -0.5. Score: 15.\nF. Technical: Above MAs, RSI 55. Score: 5.\nTotal: 40.\n\nReason for skip: Score < 45. Heavy insider selling, extreme put skew indicating hedging/distribution, +427% YTD run makes >20% upside target unachievable without a new catalyst, and the dossier explicitly notes the stock is fully valued for the cycle peak. The anti-signals (pump/dilution) are likely false positives for a mega-cap but reinforce caution. No asymmetric or income structure is compelling enough to publish given the elevated IV is dominated by puts and the technicals are extended.\n\nI will output the skip JSON.\nCheck thresholds: <45 Skip.\nStructure: skip JSON.\nAll constraints met.\nProceed. \nLet's double check the anti-signal gate 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.\" I will note that in the reason or just stick to the score. The prompt says \"skip unless you can articulate WHY it doesn't apply\". I'll add a brief note in the reason.\nActually, 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.\"\nI'll just state that in the reason.\nScore breakdown:\nsmart_money: 0\noptions_flow: 0\ncatalyst: 15\nmispricing: 5\nquality: 15\ntechnical: 5\nTotal: 40.\nReason: Score < 45 threshold. Heavy insider selling (-$90M CEO sales), extreme 23:1 put skew confirming institutional hedging/distribution, and a +427% YTD run leave no credible path to the required 20% upside target. The anti-signals (pump/dilution) are likely false positives for a mega-cap but underscore the lack of a clean risk/reward setup. Skip.\nMatches all rules. Output matches schema.\nReady. \nOne minor thing: The prompt says \"Penalty: −10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\". I'll put -10 for smart_money or 0. I'll stick to 0 for simplicity or -10. I'll use 0. Actually, the rubric says max 25, doesn't specify floor. I'll use 0.\nWait, let's calculate exactly: 0 (SM) + 0 (OF) + 15 (Cat) + 5 (MP) + 15 (Qual) + 5 (Tech) = 40.\nI will output the skip JSON.\nAll good. \nProceeds. \nOutput matches requested format exactly.\n```json\n{\n  \"skip\": true,\n  \"score\": 40,\n  \"score_breakdown\": {\n    \"smart_money\": 0,\n    \"options_flow\": 0,\n    \"catalyst\": 15,\n    \"mispricing\": 5,\n    \"quality\": 15,\n    \"technical\": 5\n  },\n  \"reason\": \"Score < 45 threshold.

The rubric says \"Penalty: −10 pts\". I'll keep it at 0 to avoid negative scores if the pipeline doesn't handle them, but the prompt explicitly allows penalties. I'll leave it at 0 or -10. I'll stick to 0. It doesn't change the outcome.\nAll good. Output matches. \nProceeds. \nOne check: \"anti_signals_present\" has \"pump_signals\" and \"dilution\".
