Investment implication

The L1 gate blocked the positive-verdict path: a hard-floor threshold was breached, so dimensional pillars — including Value at 8.9 could not lift the engine output above the verdict floor. Failed gate signal: MOMENTUM:3.5<4.5.

The strongest dimensions are Value at 8.9, Sentiment at 7.4, and Catalyst at 6.7; the weakest are Quality at 1.1, Momentum at 3.5, and Peer rank at 3.6. The V9 engine flagged 2 failed gates, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 3.39 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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