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. 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 ARM (Arm Holdings plc).\nScout verdict: `range_bound_or_income`\nScoring inputs show:\n- Smart Money: 0 insider purchases, $8.5M insider selling, Altimeter initiation. Score: ~0-2.\n- Options Flow: Bullish call bias, but IV data is stale/low in feed (though real IV is high). Score: ~2-3.\n- Catalyst: Earnings July 29, 2026. 4 consecutive beats. Score: ~10.\n- Mispricing: Forward P/E 129x vs sector 25x. EV/EBITDA 395x vs 20x. FCF yield 0.18%. Score: 0.\n- Quality: ROIC 11.95%, gross margin stable ~97-98%, net debt/EBITDA 0.18. Score: ~7-10.\n- Technical: Above 50/200 DMA, RSI 63.9. Score: ~3-4.\n- Anti-signals: \"dilution\", \"accounting\" present. Wait, the dossier says `anti_signals_present: [\"dilution\", \"accounting\"]`. I need to check if these apply. ARM is known for low FCF yield due to high reinvestment or share-based compensation/dilution. The dossier says \"dilution\" and \"accounting\" are anti-signals. This triggers the skip gate unless I can articulate why it doesn't apply. But given the extreme valuation and regulatory risk, it's a skip.\n- Also, market cap is > $5B (implied by $420B enterprise value mentioned), so risk_class is \"core\".\n- Score will be low. Let's calculate roughly:\n  Smart money: 0 (insider selling penalty -10, maybe +3 for Altimeter top 3? Not specified, but Altimeter is notable. Let's say 0).\n  Options: 2 (bullish bias).\n  Catalyst: 10 (earnings within 90 days, 4 beats).\n  Mispricing: 0 (trades at huge premium).\n  Quality: 7 (ROIC <15, margin stable, debt low).\n  Technical: 3 (above DMAs, RSI ok).\n  Total: ~22.\n- Anti-signals present: dilution, accounting. Skip.\n- Even without anti-signals, the valuation is extremely rich (129x fwd PE), and the verdict is `range_bound_or_income`. Scout hints at `cc` or `strangle`. But with an FTC investigation, extreme valuation, and insider selling, there's no clear edge. The market isn't mispricing it; it's pricing in the AI boom fully.\n- I will skip.\n\nLet's draft the skip JSON carefully.\nScore breakdown:\nsmart_money: 0\noptions_flow: 2\ncatalyst: 10\nmispricing: 0\nquality: 7\ntechnical: 3\nTotal: 22.\nReason: Extreme valuation (129x Fwd P/E), material insider selling ($8.5M), and active FTC regulatory overhang create a high-risk profile with no clear mispricing or asymmetric setup. The dossier's anti-signals for dilution and accounting further warrant skipping per pipeline rules.\nCheck thresholds: Core risk class, <45 -> Skip.\nOutput matches format.\nI will generate the JSON. \nOne detail: `anti_signals_present` has \"dilution\" and \"accounting\". I'll note that.\nAll good.\nProceed. \nOutput matches requested format exactly.\nNo extra text.\nDone. \nLet's double check the scoring rubric to be safe.\nA. Smart money: 0 pts. (0 purchases, -10 penalty for selling > buying? Actually rule says \"-10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\". Selling is $8.5M, buying $0. So -10. But min is 0 usually, rubric says max 25. I'll put 0.)\nB. Options flow: 2 pts (bullish bias, but no specific whale blocks with strong bias mentioned, just \"80% call-side directional bias\").\nC. Catalyst: 10 pts (earnings within 90 days, 4 beats).\nD. Mispricing: 0 pts (trades at huge premium).\nE. Quality: 7 pts (ROIC <15, margin stable, debt low).\nF. Technical: 3 pts (above DMAs).\nTotal: 22.\nFits skip criteria.\nOutput matches. \nProceeds. \nGenerating. \n{\n  \"skip\": true,\n  \"score\": 22,\n  \"score_breakdown\": {\n    \"smart_money\": 0,\n    \"options_flow\": 2,\n    \"catalyst\": 10,\n    \"mispricing\": 0,\n    \"quality\": 7,\n    \"technical\": 3\n  },\n  \"reason\": \"Extreme valuation (129x Fwd P/E, 395x EV/EBITDA) and active FTC regulatory overhang leave no margin of safety or mispricing edge.

Done. \nSelf-Correction/Refinement during thought: \nCheck rubric penalty: \"-10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\". If score goes negative, it caps at 0. I'll set smart_money to 0.\nCheck catalyst: \"10 pts: earnings within 90 days AND last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0%\". Dossier says \"4 consecutive beats: Q3 FY2025 +17.7%, Q4 FY2025 +5.1%, Q1 FY2026 +3.6%; Q2 FY2026 ... beat estimate ... by matching it exactly (-0.31% miss).\" Wait, the rubric says \"> 0%\". Q2 was a miss (-0.31%). So maybe 8 pts for \"pending product launch / FDA / contract milestone\" or just 5 pts for guidance raise? Actually, it says \"last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0%\". It's not strictly met, but close. I'll give 8 pts for earnings catalyst proximity + guidance. Or just stick to 10 for simplicity as it's the dominant factor. I'll adjust to 8 to be precise, or keep 10. It doesn't change the skip decision. I'll keep 10.\nActually, the rubric says \"last 4 quarters' EPS surprise > 0%\". Q2 was a miss. So it fails that specific sub-condition. I'll score it 5 for recent guidance raise? Dossier says \"Forward guidance appears solid with FY EPS growth of ~41%.\" Not explicitly a guidance raise. I'll give 8 for earnings proximity. It's fine.\nI will output exactly the JSON.\nAll good. \nProceeds. \nOutput Generation. \n[Done] \n```json\n{\n  \"skip\": true,\n  \"score\": 22,\n  \"score_breakdown\": {\n    \"smart_money\": 0,\n    \"options_flow\": 2,\n    \"catalyst\": 8,\n    \"mispricing\": 0,\n    \"quality\": 7,\n    \"technical\": 3\n  },\n  \"reason\": \"Extreme valuation (129x Fwd P/E, 395x EV/EBITDA) and active FTC regulatory overhang leave no margin of safety or mispricing edge.
