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.

  "user_prompt": "CURRENT DATE: 2026-06-22. 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 2026-06-22. 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 2026-06-22, 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\": \"AVAV\",\n  \"company\": \"AeroVironment Inc.\",\n  \"investigation_summary\": \"AVAV has collapsed -62% YTD from ~$410 to $155, driven by a goodwill impairment restatement (Q3 FY2026 understated losses by $87M), consecutive quarterly EPS misses (4 of last 5 quarters), and director resignations tied to the PE sponsor's exit. The company closed the $2.5B BlueHalo acquisition in May 2025 adding ~$2.2B in goodwill, creating a highly complex balance sheet post-merger.

Material weakness identified in internal controls over financial reporting (goodwill impairment analysis)\"\n- Dilution: \"Two Arlington Capital Partners directors resigned... PE sponsor exit from board creates uncertainty... BlueHalo acquisition added ~$2.46B in stock/cash... significant intangible assets... negative FCF\" Wait, dilution usually refers to convertible/warrant overhang >10%. The dossier says \"anti_signals_present\": [\"accounting\", \"dilution\", \"concentration\"]. The investigation summary says \"director resignations tied to the PE sponsor's exit.\" It doesn't explicitly mention >10% dilution overhang, but the anti-signal is flagged.\n- Concentration: \"U.S. government contracts represent majority of backlog\" -> Customer concentration > 30% is an anti-signal gate.\n\nGiven the explicit anti-signals present: accounting (material weakness, non-reliance on financials), dilution (PE sponsor exit, stock-based acquisition integration), and concentration (government >30%), the dossier triggers the skip gate. I must skip unless I can articulate why it doesn't apply. The accounting material weakness and non-reliance on Q3 financials right before earnings is a major red flag. The concentration is explicit. I will skip.\n\nLet's score it anyway to be thorough, but the skip gate is active.\nScore breakdown:\nA. Smart Money: 0 pts (only 1 insider bought $350k, < $500k threshold. No CEO/CFO. No 13F. No politician.) -> 0\nB. Options Flow: 0 pts (put OI at downside, weak bearish flow, no whale blocks. IV 80-86% elevated but no specific bullish skew mentioned. Actually, put skew might be hedging.) -> 0\nC. Catalyst: 0 pts (Earnings June 29, but 4 of last 5 quarters missed EPS. No guidance raise. Product launch in June but minor. Regulatory is bearish.) -> 0\nD. Mispricing: 0 pts (Forward PE 38 vs sector 25. EV/EBITDA 57 vs 20. FCF yield -3.87%. Not cheap.) -> 0\nE. Quality: 0 pts (ROIC null. Gross margin trend +25pp? Wait, says 25, but FCF negative, balance sheet grade C. Net debt/EBITDA null.) -> 0\nF. Technical: 0 pts (Below 50DMA & 200DMA. RSI 37. MACD no cross. Momentum -62%.) -> 0\nTotal Score: 0.\n\nClearly a skip.
