Investment implication

The L1 gate blocked the positive-verdict path: a hard-floor threshold was breached, so dimensional pillars — including Risk (lower is worse) at 8.6 could not lift the engine output above the verdict floor. Failed gate signal: MOMENTUM:3.3<4.5.

The strongest dimensions are Risk (lower is worse) at 8.6, Technical at 8.1, and Value at 7.6; the weakest are Growth at 2.8, Momentum at 3.3, and Quality at 3.6. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate with 1 warning, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 0.00 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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