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 MPWR (Monolithic Power Systems, Inc.).\nScoring inputs:\nSmart Money: 0 pts. No insider buys, only sales.\nOptions Flow: 0 pts. Put-skewed, bearish bias. No whale call blocks.\nCatalyst: 10 pts for earnings within 90 days (July 30, 2026) AND last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0%. (Actually, it says 4 consecutive positive beats).\nMispricing: 0 pts. Forward P/E 52.3, EV/EBITDA 88.8. Highly overvalued.\nQuality: 5 pts for gross margin expanding? Wait, gross margin trend is 0.55175 (55.175% YoY? Or pp? It says 0.55175, probably means 55.175% gross margin, not pp expansion. The rubric says \"gross margin expanding ≥ 3pp YoY\". I'll give 0 or maybe 2 if I interpret it loosely, but it's likely 0. Net debt/EBITDA is -5.45 (net cash), so +5 pts. Let's give Quality 5.\nTechnical: 3 pts for above 50DMA and 200DMA. RSI 51.5 (not 40-65? It is in 40-65). So 3+2 = 5 pts.\nTotal score: ~20.\n\nAnti-signals present: \"accounting\", \"litigation\".\nDossier notes: \"RESTATEMENT: Deferred tax accounting error... prior financials unreliable until corrected.\" and \"Schall Law Firm investigation launched June 9, 2026 regarding potential fiduciary duty breaches\".\nAnti-signal gates: \"Accounting irregularities (restatements, auditor changes)\" and \"Pending material litigation (DOJ/SEC enforcement, class action with merit)\".\nThe dossier explicitly lists these as anti_signals_present.\nAlso, valuation is extremely high (52x Fwd P/E, 89x EV/EBITDA). No margin of safety.\nScout verdict: range_bound_or_income. Options flow is bearish.\nEdge check: The market is pricing in perfection. No edge. High valuation + accounting restatement + governance probe + insider selling.\nThis is a clear skip.\n\nScore breakdown:\nsmart_money: 0\noptions_flow: 0\ncatalyst: 10\nmispricing: 0\nquality: 5\ntechnical: 5\nTotal: 20.\n\nReason: High valuation (52x Fwd P/E), accounting restatement, active governance probe, and lack of insider buying make this dossier unfit for publication; the anti-signal gates trigger a mandatory skip.\nI will output the skip JSON.\nCheck thresholds: <45 Skip.\nAll good.\nOutput matches format.\nProceed. \nLet's double check the scoring rubric to be precise.\nCatalyst: 10 pts (earnings within 90 days + 4 positive beats).\nQuality: 5 pts (net debt/EBITDA <= 2x). Gross margin trend is 0.55175 (likely 55.175%, not pp). ROIC null. So 5.\nTechnical: 3 pts (above 50DMA and 200DMA). RSI 51.5 is in 40-65, so +2 pts. Total 5.\nTotal: 20.\nMatches.\nOutput JSON. \nOne minor point: 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.\" I will just state the anti-signal gates trigger the skip.\nReady. \nOutput matches exactly. \nProceeds. \n```json\n{\n  \"skip\": true,\n  \"score\": 20,\n  \"score_breakdown\": {\n    \"smart_money\": 0,\n    \"options_flow\": 0,\n    \"catalyst\": 10,\n    \"mispricing\": 0,\n    \"quality\": 5,\n    \"technical\": 5\n  },\n  \"reason\": \"Mandatory skip triggered by anti-signal gates (accounting restatement and active governance/litigation probe).
