Investment implication

The C-path quality+value combination triggered the STRONG_BUY_WAIT verdict: quality 7.5 and value 9.6 both clear their thresholds, with asymmetric R:R of 3.56 supporting the read.

The strongest dimensions are Growth at 10.0, Value at 9.6, and Quality at 7.5; the weakest are Risk (lower is worse) at 3.9, Technical at 4.0, and Insider at 5.0. The V9 engine cleared all gates, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 3.56 and an engine sizing output of STARTER.

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