Investment implication

None of the engine's positive-conviction paths (C-quality, D-momentum) triggered — the F-path HOLD reflects balanced signals. Strongest-cleared gate: MOMENTUM:7.9>=5.5. Top dim: Growth at 8.1; weakest: Insider at 3.4. No conviction either direction.

The strongest dimensions are Growth at 8.1, Momentum at 7.9, and Sentiment at 7.6; the weakest are Insider at 3.4, Technical at 3.7, and Value at 4.2. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of -0.49 and an engine sizing output of STARTER.

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