## Analysis

Six substantive agents converge on 72-80% (mean 75.8%). Two agents returned 50% due to research failures and should be excluded. All substantive agents agree on the key facts: Trump+Abbott endorsements, 9-candidate field requiring runoff, Yarbrough as front-runner, Binkley as main competitor. The disagreement is narrow — how much to discount for runoff risk. Historical Trump endorsement win rates (83%+) in open seats already incorporate multi-round scenarios. Market at 79.5% is consistent with this base rate slightly discounted for the specific runoff dynamics. My estimate of 78% is essentially at market price, giving insufficient edge (<2%) to justify a trade. The lack of polling data is a significant blind spot that prevents confident deviation from market consensus.
