Investment implication
The L1 gate blocked the positive-verdict path: a hard-floor threshold was breached, so dimensional pillars — including Growth at 10.0 could not lift the engine output above the verdict floor. Failed gate signal: MOMENTUM:2.7<4.5.
The strongest dimensions are Growth at 10.0, Value at 9.3, and Catalyst at 7.5; the weakest are Quality at 2.2, Momentum at 2.7, and Risk (lower is worse) at 3.6. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 2.72 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.
