Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 2.6 below the 5.4 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. The strongest dimension ( Momentum at 7.6) was not enough to lift the adjusted overall above the threshold. Co-occurring failed gates ( ASYMMETRY:-0.7=NEGATIVE) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is -0.72 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Momentum at 7.6, Growth at 7.2, and Catalyst at 7.1; the weakest are Value at 3.3, Technical at 3.6, and Peer rank at 4.2. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of -0.72 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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