  "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. 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.

  "user_prompt": "CURRENT DATE: 2026-06-20. THE YEAR IS 2026.\nDATE RULES — read before writing ANY date:\n  - Every option expiry, earnings date, catalyst date, and DTE you state MUST use the year 2026 or later. Do NOT write 2025 dates — your training prior is stale.\n  - Every option expiry MUST be a real FUTURE date relative to 2026-06-20. Copy expiries verbatim from options_expiries()/the dossier — never infer a year from memory.\n  - Before writing a date, check it: if it is earlier than 2026-06-20, it is WRONG — re-read the live tool output.\n\nHere is the dossier from Scout. Decide: skip or draft.\n\n\nLESSONS LEARNED FROM PRIOR CLOSED IDEAS (apply when scoring this candidate):\n  - [anti_signal, conf 5] In low-float, high-short-interest commodity names (~10%+ shorts), pre-earnings positioning can cause large directional spikes (10-15%) that distort entry pricing and skew readings. These spikes are driven by gamma positioning and short-covering, not fundamental information. Enter spreads AFTER the pre-event spike resolves, not before.\n      applies: Applies to commodity-linked names with short interest >10% and market cap <$10B entering earnings. Does NOT apply to large-cap names with low short interest where positioning is more efficient.\n  - [catalyst, conf 5] For pre-revenue mining companies, the key earnings catalyst is operational progress (mine start-up, production targets, permitting status), not EPS. EPS misses are expected and priced in. Market reaction is driven by whether operational milestones are met or delayed, not financial performance. Score catalysts based on operational milestone significance, not EPS surprise potential.\n      applies: Applies to all pre-revenue or early-stage mining/exploration companies. Does NOT apply to established producers where EPS and revenue are the primary drivers.\n  - [anti_signal, conf 5] When RSI(14) > 80 AND the stock has run up >40% in 180 days entering earnings, the probability of mean-reversion is high regardless of implied move richness. The direction_evidence score should be reduced by at least 5 points, and the trade should be avoided unless there is a strong contrarian catalyst.\n      applies: Applies to any earnings play where RSI > 80 and the stock has run up >40% in the prior 180 days. Does NOT apply when the stock is near its 200-DMA or has been consolidating.\n  - [structure, conf 5] If the options chain has null bid/ask data across all strikes, the implied move calculation is unreliable. The scout should flag this as a fatal flaw and reject the trade — do not proceed with assumed implied move metrics.\n      applies: Applies to any options-based trade where the implied move is a key input. Does NOT apply to trades that do not rely on implied move calculations.\n  - [structure, conf 4] For zero-revenue resource companies, earnings reports are operational milestone updates, not financial performance events. Market reaction is typically delayed 3-7 days as analysts digest operational details (mine start-up, production targets, inventory decisions). Use longer-dated options (7-14 DTE) or calendar spreads instead of tight DTE spreads that expire before the full reaction.\n      applies: Applies to all pre-revenue or zero-revenue resource/mining companies where operational milestones (mine start-up, production ramp, permitting) drive valuations. Does NOT apply to established producers with consistent revenue where earnings reactions are immediate.\n  - [smart_money, conf 4] In cybersecurity names during AI-capex peaks, executive sales (even Rule 10b5-1) at prices significantly below current spot should be weighted more heavily than analyst upgrades. Insiders are closer to the data and may be positioning for a plateau.\n      applies: Applies to cybersecurity and AI-infrastructure names during periods of elevated analyst optimism. Does NOT apply when insiders are buying or when sales are at prices near current spot.\n  - [catalyst, conf 4] Historical EPS beats do not guarantee positive stock reaction if the stock has already run up into the event. The 'beat' is priced in, and any 'in-line' result is a disappointment. The catalyst_was_real score should be reduced when the pre-event run-up exceeds 20%.\n      applies: Applies to any earnings play where the stock has run up >20% into the event. Does NOT apply when the stock has been consolidating or declining into the event.\n  - [smart_money, conf 3] In commodity-linked names with institutional holders, put skew is often driven by hedging activity (portfolio insurance, commodity price exposure) rather than directional bearishness. Elevated put skew in these names should be discounted as a signal and treated as structural, not informational.\n      applies: Applies to all commodity-linked names (uranium, copper, lithium, oil) where institutional holders hedge commodity price exposure via options. Does NOT apply to pure-play companies with no commodity exposure where skew reflects genuine directional views.\n\nDOSSIER:\n{\n  \"symbol\": \"ANET\",\n  \"company\": \"Arista Networks, Inc.\",\n  \"investigation_summary\": \"ANET is a high-quality AI/cloud networking leader with exceptional margins (63% gross) and 35% revenue growth trading at ~38x forward P/E near its 52-week high of $179.80. The investigation trigger was a cluster of Form 4 filings in the past 14 days, but detailed reading reveals ALL insider activity is Rule 10b5-1 pre-planned SELLING — zero open-market purchases. Andreas Bechtolsheim (co-founder) sold ~220k shares worth ~$35M on June 15 via a scheduled plan entered Feb 20, 2026; he had previously sold ~220k shares at lower prices on June 5. Kenneth Duda's recent filings were J-code (gift/JT trust transfers), not purchases. The options flow shows bullish directional bias with call skew but this is typical for premium tech names and doesn't constitute a proprietary edge signal when combined with insider SELLING. The company raised its full-year outlook in early June, the Q2 earnings print on Aug 4 will be the key catalyst; analyst consensus target is $190 vs current ~$170.

The edge check: \"What does this idea say that the market doesn't already know?\" Nothing. It's a high-quality compounder at a premium valuation with insider selling.
