Investment implication
The L1 gate blocked the positive-verdict path: a hard-floor threshold was breached, so dimensional pillars — including Risk (lower is worse) at 6.7 could not lift the engine output above the verdict floor.
The strongest dimensions are Risk (lower is worse) at 6.7, Momentum at 5.6, and Value at 5.0; the weakest are Quality at 0.9, Technical at 3.7, and Catalyst at 5.0. The V9 engine cleared all gates with 2 warnings, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 0.00 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.
