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: ASYMMETRY:-2.4=NEGATIVE.

The strongest dimensions are Growth at 10.0, Catalyst at 8.4, and Value at 7.5; the weakest are Quality at 3.1, Insider at 3.9, and Momentum at 5.2. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate with 1 warning, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of -2.44 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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