VERDICT: PASS
Real model-market disagreement (~12 pts on Kopp), but the qualitative read validates the MARKET, not the models. Feldbausch dominates Strong opposition at higher-tier events; Kopp's ELO/ML numbers are inflated by grindy wins over Weak/Avg M25 fields and he just lost to a 1500. No fatigue or letdown angle to rescue the dog thesis. alt_markets null — no margin market available. Model edge without qualitative validation = no bet.
