Investment implication
The L1 gate blocked the positive-verdict path: a hard-floor threshold was breached, so dimensional pillars — including Sentiment at 7.4 could not lift the engine output above the verdict floor. Failed gate signal: MOMENTUM:1.6<4.5.
The strongest dimensions are Sentiment at 7.4, Value at 7.0, and Technical at 6.5; the weakest are Momentum at 1.6, Catalyst at 2.9, and Peer rank at 3.6. The V9 engine flagged 2 failed gates, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 2.63 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.
