Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 5.2 below the 5.4 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. The strongest dimension ( Growth at 10.0) was not enough to lift the adjusted overall above the threshold. Co-occurring failed gates ( ASYMMETRY:1.1<1.5@spot) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is 1.10 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Growth at 10.0, Sentiment at 7.9, and Catalyst at 7.6; the weakest are Insider at 3.4, Peer rank at 4.0, and Technical at 4.1. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate with 2 warnings, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 1.10 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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