Investment implication

The L1 gate blocked the positive-verdict path: a hard-floor threshold was breached, so dimensional pillars — including Value at 8.5 could not lift the engine output above the verdict floor. Failed gate signal: MOMENTUM:4.3<4.5.

The strongest dimensions are Value at 8.5, Sentiment at 6.8, and Risk (lower is worse) at 5.1; the weakest are Growth at 0.0, Peer rank at 2.3, and Quality at 2.5. The V9 engine flagged 4 failed gates, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 0.87 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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