  "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.

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 ALAB (Astera Labs, Inc.), a semiconductor company.\nScout verdict: `range_bound_or_income`\nScout says: \"stock has already run ~300% YTD to all-time highs near $367, giving it a forward P/E of 87x and EV/EBITDA of 265x... best classified as range_bound_or_income — a covered-call or strangle candidate rather than an asymmetric long.\"\nHowever, let's look at the scoring inputs and anti-signals.\nAnti-signals present: `concentration`, `dilution`.\nWait, the prompt says: \"Customer concentration > 30%\" is an anti-signal gate. The dossier says \"one customer represented >70% of 2025 revenue; top three ~86%.\" This triggers the anti-signal gate.\nAlso, \"Convertible/warrant overhang creating dilution > 10% of float\" is an anti-signal. The dossier mentions \"dilution\" in anti_signals_present.\nLet's check the scoring rubric.\nA. Smart Money: 0 pts (no insider purchases, $3.1M selling). Penalty: -10 pts for material insider selling > buying? Actually, it says \"Penalty: -10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\". Here buying is 0, selling is 3.1M. So -10 pts. Score: 0.\nB. Options Flow: 4 pts for whale_call_blocks_otm >= 2? Dossier says \"Two OTM call whale blocks with 65% net bullish bias in July options\". So +4 pts. Net dollar bias > 30%? Yes, 65% bullish. +2 pts. Total: 6 pts.\nC. Catalyst: Earnings within 90 days (Aug 4, 2026) AND last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0%? Yes, 4 consecutive positive surprises. +10 pts. Nasdaq-100 inclusion + product launch. But capped at 25. Let's say 15 pts for catalyst.\nD. Mispricing: Forward P/E 87 vs sector 25. EV/EBITDA 265 vs 18. FCF yield 0.38%. No mispricing. 0 pts.\nE. Quality: ROIC 21.1% (+5), gross margin expanding 0.5pp (0), net debt/EBITDA -4.65 (net cash, +5). Total: 10 pts.\nF. Technical: Above 50DMA (+3). 12-1 momentum positive (+4). RSI 66.6 (0). MACD false (0). Total: 7 pts.\n\nTotal raw score: 0 + 6 + 15 + 0 + 10 + 7 = 38.\nWait, let's add carefully:\nA: 0 - 10 = -10? The rubric says max 25, but doesn't specify floor. I'll just score it as 0 for the positive components, but note the penalty. Actually, I'll just score it as 0 for A, but the penalty might bring it down. I'll stick to 0 for A.\nB: 6\nC: 15 (earnings surprise pattern + Nasdaq inclusion)\nD: 0\nE: 10\nF: 7\nTotal: 38.\n\nEven if I give it a high score, the anti-signal gate says: \"Customer concentration > 30%\" -> Skip.\nAlso, the valuation is extremely rich (87x Fwd P/E, 265x EV/EBITDA). Upside target requires 20%+ return. At these levels, with high IV (107-108%), selling options might be possible, but the anti-signal gate for customer concentration > 30% is strict: \"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.\"\nCustomer concentration is >70%. It definitely applies. So skip.\n\nLet's verify 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.\"\nI will skip.\n\nScore breakdown:\nsmart_money: 0\noptions_flow: 6\ncatalyst: 15\nmispricing: 0\nquality: 10\ntechnical: 7\nTotal: 38\n\nReason: Customer concentration >70% triggers the anti-signal gate, and the stock is priced for perfection at 87x forward P/E with no margin of safety; despite Nasdaq-100 inclusion and elevated IV, the concentration risk and lack of insider buying make it unsuitable for publication.\n\nCheck structure: output exactly the skip JSON.\nI will construct the JSON carefully.\nScore: 38.\nBreakdown matches.\nReason matches.\nAll good.\nProceed. \nWait, let's double check the scoring math.\nA: 0 (no buys, selling penalty applies but I'll just put 0 as the score component, or -10? The rubric says \"max 25\", usually scores don't go negative in these templates, but I'll put 0).\nB: 4 (whale calls) + 2 (net bias) = 6.\nC: 10 (earnings surprise) + 5 (guidance raise? no) + 5 (sector tailwind? Nasdaq inclusion is structural, not exactly sector tailwind in $, but I'll give 10 for catalyst).\nD: 0.\nE: 5 (ROIC) + 5 (net cash) = 10.\nF: 3 (above 50DMA) + 4 (momentum) = 7.\nTotal: 38.\n\nI will output the skip JSON.\nOne detail: \"customer concentration > 30%\" is explicitly in anti_signals_present.
