Investment implication

The L1 gate blocked the positive-verdict path: a hard-floor threshold was breached, so dimensional pillars — including Value at 9.0 could not lift the engine output above the verdict floor.

The strongest dimensions are Value at 9.0, Sentiment at 8.0, and Momentum at 6.3; the weakest are Risk (lower is worse) at 1.4, Quality at 1.4, and Technical at 1.9. The V9 engine cleared all gates with 1 warning, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 5.39 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

Engine reasoning is mechanically derived from pipeline gate outputs. See decision view.
