Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 3.1 below the 5.4 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. The strongest dimension ( Growth at 8.8) was not enough to lift the adjusted overall above the threshold. Co-occurring failed gates ( ASYMMETRY:0.2<1.5@spot) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is 0.25 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Growth at 8.8, Catalyst at 7.6, and Sentiment at 6.3; the weakest are Insider at 3.4, Peer rank at 4.0, and Risk (lower is worse) at 4.1. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate with 2 warnings, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 0.25 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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