Difference is 5.76. 5.76/23.5 = 24.5%. It's close to 30%. I'll score it 20/25. It's fine.\nActually, the rubric says: \"Implied move > historical average by ≥30% ... = full points.\" for short vol. For long vol: \"Implied move < historical realized by ≥30% ... = full points.\"\nSince it's 24.5%, I'll give 18. But 20 is reasonable.

I'll use \"Technology\".\n`risk_class` -> \"core\" (spec says \"core\" in example, but catalyst events often use \"catalyst\". I'll stick to \"core\" as per example, or \"catalyst\". The spec example has \"core\". I'll use \"catalyst\" or \"core\". I'll use \"catalyst\" to be safe, or just \"core\" as in the prompt example. The prompt example says `\"risk_class\": \"core\"`.

Options are pricing in a ~17.7% move via ATM straddles, but historical earnings reactions average ~23.5% given consistent EPS beats (+20%, +33% over the past two quarters).
