Sell if holding. Engine safety override at $12.14: a dimension score below its floor triggers a hard block regardless of the otherwise-positive setup — overall score 3.8/10. Specifically: High short interest: 35%; Below-average business quality; Negative price momentum. Chart setup: Death cross but MACD improving, RSI 73. Score 3.8/10, high confidence.

Passes 3/7 gates (clean insider activity, no SEC red flags, semi cycle peak clear). Fails on weak momentum and favorable risk/reward ratio and death cross (50MA < 200MA) and earnings proximity 7d<=7d. Suitability: aggressive.
