Investment implication

The L1 gate blocked the positive-verdict path: a hard-floor threshold was breached, so dimensional pillars — including Growth at 10.0 could not lift the engine output above the verdict floor. Failed gate signal: MOMENTUM:2.1<4.5.

The strongest dimensions are Growth at 10.0, Sentiment at 7.4, and Catalyst at 6.7; the weakest are Momentum at 2.1, Risk (lower is worse) at 2.6, and Quality at 2.7. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 2.01 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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