Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 2.7 below the 5.6 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. The strongest dimension ( Growth at 9.2) was not enough to lift the adjusted overall above the threshold. Co-occurring failed gates ( MOMENTUM:3.9<4.5, ASYMMETRY:-2.1=NEGATIVE) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is -2.11 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Growth at 9.2, Catalyst at 6.7, and Value at 5.5; the weakest are Insider at 3.9, Momentum at 3.9, and Risk (lower is worse) at 4.4. The V9 engine flagged 2 failed gates with 1 warning, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of -2.11 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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