NARRATIVE
  Let-down: None (Navone's Geneva Final loss was ~58d ago)
  Venue: no Kitzbuhel history in data for either
  Title recency: none

VERDICT — PASS
  Model-market disagreement is real (ML says Muller 36% vs market 19%) but the
  qualitative read kills it: Muller is 0-8 with losses to 1552/1613 opponents and
  repeated blowouts — the models are stale on him, and the exchange drifting him
  out to 5.9 confirms the market is right. Alt-market edges (A+4.5 cover, over 20.5)
  derive from the same inflated Muller number; his blowout tendency (3 of 8 matches
  lopsided) directly threatens both. Navone's GRIND profile gives the +4.5 some
  support, but the residual edge after shading is thin and mixed. No stakeable
  market. Predicted winner: M. Navone.
