Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 4.2 below the 5.6 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 ( DEATH_CROSS:HARD_BLOCK, 8K_CRITICAL:4.01) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is 1.51 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Growth at 10.0, Catalyst at 6.4, and Sentiment at 6.0; the weakest are Technical at 4.4, Momentum at 4.6, and Value at 4.7. The V9 engine flagged 2 failed gates with 1 warning, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 1.51 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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