Investment implication
None of the engine's positive-conviction paths (C-quality, D-momentum) triggered — the F-path HOLD reflects balanced signals. Strongest-cleared gate: INSIDER:OK. Top dim: Growth at 10.0; weakest: Momentum at 3.7. No conviction either direction.
The strongest dimensions are Growth at 10.0, Technical at 6.8, and Catalyst at 6.7; the weakest are Momentum at 3.7, Peer rank at 4.9, and Insider at 5.0. The V9 engine flagged 2 failed gates, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of -3.76 and an engine sizing output of STARTER.
