  "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.

      "raw_content": "<think>The dossier is for TG (Tredegar Corporation), a small-cap industrial manufacturer (~$278M market cap).\nScout verdict: `bearish_setup`\nInsider selling: 3 family members sold ~$295K in the last 14 days.\nOptions flow: Bearish put bias, thin liquidity.\nCatalyst: Q2 earnings on Aug 7, 2026. Bearish bias.\nMispricing: Forward P/E 7.18x, EV/EBITDA 5.375x. Cheap but value trap.\nQuality: ROIC null, gross margin null, net debt/EBITDA 2.6, balance sheet grade C.\nTechnical: Below 50DMA and 200DMA. RSI 46.1.\nAnti-signals: `insider_selling`, `concentration`.\nMarket cap: ~$278M -> ASYMMETRIC risk class.\n\nScoring:\nA. Smart Money: 0 pts (no purchases, material selling $295K -> -10 pts, but floor is 0). Actually, penalty is -10, so score is 0.\nB. Options Flow: 0 pts (bearish put bias, thin).\nC. Catalyst: 0 pts (earnings Aug 7, but bias is bearish, no positive surprise pattern).\nD. Mispricing: 0 pts (cheap but value trap, no SOTP, FCF yield 3.69% < 7%).\nE. Quality: 0 pts (ROIC null, margin null, debt/EBITDA 2.6 > 2x).\nF. Technical: 0 pts (below DMAs, RSI 46.1, no momentum).\nTotal Score: ~0-5.\n\nAnti-signals present: `insider_selling`, `concentration`.\nVerdict: bearish_setup.\nUpside target: None. Downside risk is high.\nEdge check: \"Nothing material — the Gottwald family selling is visible in filings but it is a negative signal, not an edge.\"\nThreshholds for ASYMMETRIC: < 45 -> Skip.\nStructure: Scout hints at naked_call, but options are thinly traded, liquidity is poor, and it's a small cap. Compliance would likely block naked call on a small cap with poor liquidity anyway. Plus, the dossier says \"skip\" is expected default.\n\nI will skip.\nReason: The dossier presents a bearish setup with significant anti-signals (material insider selling, thin liquidity, broken technicals, and a value-trap valuation profile). No asymmetric long or viable income structure is supported by the data.\nScore: 5 (just to show I evaluated it, but effectively 0).\nWait, scoring rubric says max 100. I'll just sum the components as 0 or very low.\nLet's compute exactly:\nA: 0\nB: 0\nC: 0\nD: 0\nE: 0\nF: 0\nScore: 0.\nI will output the skip JSON.\nCheck constraints: \"OUTPUT ONLY VALID JSON. No surrounding prose, no markdown fences.\"\nAll good.\nProceed. \nLet's double check the anti-signals: \"insider_selling\", \"concentration\". 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.\" Here it clearly applies.\nI will skip.\nOutput matches format.\nDone. \nSelf-Correction/Refinement during thought: \nCould this be a paper track? Score is <45, so skip. No catalyst to justify paper track.\nI will generate the skip JSON.\nScore breakdown: all 0.\nReason: \"Material insider selling, broken technicals, and a value-trap valuation profile override any cheap multiples; the dossier presents a clear bearish setup with poor liquidity that does not support a viable trade structure.\"\nMatches requirements.\nProceeds. \nOutput matches exactly. \nReady. \n[Output Generation] -> JSON. \n```json\n{\n  \"skip\": true,\n  \"score\": 0,\n  \"score_breakdown\": {\n    \"smart_money\": 0,\n    \"options_flow\": 0,\n    \"catalyst\": 0,\n    \"mispricing\": 0,\n    \"quality\": 0,\n    \"technical\": 0\n  },\n  \"reason\": \"Material insider selling, broken technicals, and a value-trap valuation profile override any cheap multiples; the dossier presents a clear bearish setup with poor liquidity that does not support a viable trade structure.\"\n}\n```\nWait, the prompt says \"score\": <num>.
