Investment implication

The L1 gate blocked the positive-verdict path: a hard-floor threshold was breached, so dimensional pillars — including Technical at 6.8 could not lift the engine output above the verdict floor. Failed gate signal: MOMENTUM:3.6<4.5.

The strongest dimensions are Technical at 6.8, Sentiment at 6.1, and Value at 5.0; the weakest are Peer rank at 0.6, Growth at 1.2, and Quality at 1.2. The V9 engine flagged 2 failed gates, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 0.33 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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