Analysis

All 8 agents agree Camacho is the clear frontrunner with confirmed candidacy, incumbency, ruling coalition backing, and a 13-point polling lead. The price spike from 38% to 84.5% is explained by concrete developments (TSE confirmation + legal case dismissal). The main risk is a runoff scenario where he's below 50%, but even in a runoff he'd be favored given his coalition strength. Agent 2 (89%) had the strongest specific evidence; Agent 6 (63%) was weakest. My estimate of 82% is slightly below market (84.5%) reflecting residual runoff uncertainty, but the edge of ~2.5% is far too small to trade. The ensemble mean of 77.2% is dragged down by Agent 6's outlier estimate based on weaker evidence. I cannot articulate a strong specific case for the market being wrong - TSE confirmation eliminates the biggest downside risk (disqualification).
