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: ASYMMETRY:-0.5=NEGATIVE.

The strongest dimensions are Growth at 10.0, Catalyst at 7.6, and Momentum at 6.4; the weakest are Peer rank at 2.4, Technical at 2.5, and Quality at 3.3. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of -0.47 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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