Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 5.5 below the 5.6 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. The strongest dimension ( Growth at 9.0) was not enough to lift the adjusted overall above the threshold. Co-occurring failed gates ( ASYMMETRY:0.6<1.5@spot) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is 0.62 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Growth at 9.0, Value at 8.7, and Sentiment at 7.4; the weakest are Technical at 2.7, Insider at 5.0, and Risk (lower is worse) at 5.6. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 0.62 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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