Investment implication

The L1 gate blocked the positive-verdict path: a hard-floor threshold was breached, so dimensional pillars — including Value at 8.9 could not lift the engine output above the verdict floor. Failed gate signal: MOMENTUM:3.1<4.5.

The strongest dimensions are Value at 8.9, Sentiment at 7.0, and Technical at 6.5; the weakest are Catalyst at 2.5, Peer rank at 2.7, and Momentum at 3.1. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 3.52 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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