Investment implication

The L1 gate blocked the positive-verdict path: a hard-floor threshold was breached, so dimensional pillars — including Risk (lower is worse) at 7.6 could not lift the engine output above the verdict floor.

The strongest dimensions are Risk (lower is worse) at 7.6, Sentiment at 7.5, and Value at 6.0; the weakest are Peer rank at 3.6, Technical at 4.1, and Catalyst at 5.0. The V9 engine cleared all gates with 1 warning, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 14.23 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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