Investment implication

The STRONG_BUY_WAIT verdict reflects the ASYMMETRY gate's 0.3<1.5@spot outcome against Quality at 7.5 and asymmetric R:R of 0.32.

The strongest dimensions are Quality at 7.5, Risk (lower is worse) at 7.4, and Momentum at 6.8; the weakest are Growth at 3.8, Technical at 4.5, and Insider at 5.0. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate with 1 warning, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 0.32 and an engine sizing output of STARTER.

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