  "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.

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.

The fundamental story is genuinely compelling: Q3 FY2026 EPS of $23.41 smashed estimates ($14.66), multi-year supply agreements worth over $42B in contracted revenue commitments were disclosed June 12, and the company holds a dominant position in AI-driven NAND storage demand (enterprise SSDs for datacenters). However, the valuation picture is unambiguously rich: EV/EBITDA of ~51x vs sector median ~20-25x; forward P/E of ~10.8x vs Micron at ~8.7x despite Sandisk being smaller and less diversified; FCF yield below 1%. The stock sits at an all-time high with RSI(14)=70.6, well into overbought territory. Form 4 filings over the past 30 days show exclusively selling (Alper Ilkbahar CLO/executive sold ~$3M+ in shares via 10b5-1 plans; Bernard Shek sold ~$1M) — zero open-market purchases from any insider. The options whale call blocks are largely a data artifact of near-zero IV on deep ITM calls (spot $1,980 vs strikes at $630-$2,200), masking that the actual new positioning V/OI>1 signal returned empty. No material edge in filings was missed: Flash Ventures structure is disclosed and well-understood; Unis Venture transfer from WDC is documented; the $6B buyback authorization announced April 30 is real but dilutive at these levels.

      "raw_content": "<think>The user wants me to analyze a dossier for SNDK (Sandisk Corporation) and decide whether to skip or draft a trade idea based on the provided scoring rubric and methodology.\n\nLet's break down the dossier and score it according to the rubric.\n\n**Scoring Inputs Analysis:**\n- **Smart Money (A):**\n  - Insider open market purchases: 0\n  - Material insider selling: $5M (penalty -10)\n  - Score: 0 - 10 = -10? Wait, the rubric says \"Penalty: −10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\". Since buying is 0 and selling is $5M, this applies. But scores can't go below 0 usually, or I'll just cap at 0. Let's say 0.\n  - Smart Money Score: 0\n\n- **Options Flow / UOA (B):**\n  - Whale call blocks: 18 reported, but mostly deep ITM data artifact. Not bullish flow.\n  - Net dollar bias: +$71M calls, but put volume also elevated. V/OI>1 empty.\n  - IV skew: Near-zero IV on calls, 12-15% on OTM puts. Not bullish IV skew.\n  - Score: 0\n\n- **Catalyst (C):**\n  - Next earnings: 2026-08-24 (within 90 days). Last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0%? Dossier says Q3 beat +59.7%, Q2 beat +74.9%. Consecutive massive beats. (10 pts)\n  - Recent guidance raise: true. (5 pts)\n  - Quantifiable sector tailwind: AI NAND demand, $42B contracted revenue. (5 pts)\n  - Cap at 25. Let's give it 20. (10 for earnings beat pattern, 5 for guidance, 5 for contracts/tailwind). Actually, the rubric says \"10 pts: earnings within 90 days AND last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0%\". It only confirms 2 quarters here, but implies consecutive. I'll give 10.\n  - Catalyst Score: 20 (capped at 25, but components sum to 20).\n\n- **Mispricing (D):**\n  - Forward P/E: 10.8x vs sector median ~20-25x. Actually, it's BELOW sector median, but the narrative says it's expensive relative to peers like Micron (8.7x) and EV/EBITDA is 51x vs 20-25x. So it's NOT cheap. It's rich.\n  - EV/EBITDA: 51x vs 20-25x. Rich.\n  - FCF yield: 0.77%. Not ≥7%.\n  - SOTP gap: null.\n  - Score: 0 (It's overvalued, not mispriced to the upside).\n\n- **Quality (E):**\n  - ROIC: null.\n  - Gross margin trend: 78% gross margin, but trend not given in pp YoY.\n  - Net debt / EBITDA: -0.55 (net cash). (5 pts)\n  - Score: 5\n\n- **Momentum/Technical (F):**\n  - Above 50DMA/200DMA: Yes (at ATH). (3 pts)\n  - 12-1 month return positive: 1534% YTD. (4 pts)\n  - RSI 14 in 40-65: No, it's 70.6. (0 pts)\n  - MACD bullish cross: Not mentioned. (0 pts)\n  - Score: 7\n\n**Total Score:** 0 + 0 + 20 + 0 + 5 + 7 = 32.\n\n**Anti-Signals:**\n- \"dilution\" and \"concentration\" are listed in `anti_signals_present`.\n- Dossier mentions: \"dilution > 10% of float\"? Not explicitly, but `anti_signals_present` has \"dilution\". Also \"concentration\" (maybe customer or JV 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.\"\n- I will skip due to anti-signals and low score.\n\n**Structure/Verdict Check:**\n- Scout verdict: `range_bound_or_income`\n- But score is 32, well below 45. Skip threshold is <45.\n- Also, EDGE CHECK: \"What does this idea say that the market doesn't already know?\" The dossier says the market already knows the AI NAND story and has re-rated it 1,534% YTD. No edge.\n- Upside target: Needs 20%+. Current price $1980. Upside is limited given valuation.\n- Conclusion: Skip.\n\n**Drafting the Skip JSON:**\n- skip: true\n- score: 32\n- score_breakdown: smart_money: 0, options_flow: 0, catalyst: 20, mispricing: 0, quality: 5, technical: 7\n- reason: \"Score of 32 falls well below the 45-point threshold. The stock has already re-rated 1,534% YTD on known AI demand tailwinds, trading at a rich 51x EV/EBITDA with zero margin of safety. Active insider selling and anti-signals for dilution/concentration further negate any income or long setup. No asymmetric edge or mispricing exists to justify publication.\"\n\nLet's double check the scoring rubric constraints.\nA: 0 (insider selling penalty applied, but usually scores floor at 0. I'll put 0).\nB: 0\nC: 20 (Earnings beat 10 + guidance 5 + tailwind 5 = 20)\nD: 0\nE: 5 (net cash)\nF: 7 (above DMA, positive return)\nTotal: 32.\n\nMatches skip criteria (<45).\nI will output the JSON exactly as requested.\nCheck date rules: Not writing any dates in the skip output, but if I were, I'd use 2026.\nCheck structure: Only output valid JSON.\nReady. \nOne minor point: The prompt says \"Penalty: −10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\".

I'll stick to 0.\nAll good.\nOutput matches requested format.✅\nProceed. \nSelf-Correction/Refinement during thought: \nWait, the prompt says \"Penalty: −10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\".
