NARRATIVE
  Let-down: Navone lost Geneva final 61d ago → none live.
  No venue history for either (first Kitzbuhel week).
  Title recency: none.

ALT MARKETS
  Totals 22.5: model under 0.548 vs eff 1.97→~0.520, edge ~2.8% (< 5%) → PASS.
  Handicap Navone -2.5 @1.85: no model prob, speculative, contradicts the models
    that rate Navone weakly → no validated edge.
  Halys ML @3.00: commission-adj eff 2.90, model_prob_b 0.475 gives nominal +13%.

VERDICT — PASS
  The lone model edge (dog Halys) is directly contradicted by the qualitative read:
  fatigue is heavily against Halys (461-min court-time gap, 15 sets in 7d, B2B) and
  Navone is the clay specialist in DOM form who is far fresher. A skeptic prices
  Navone AT or ABOVE the market here, not below — so the model's Halys value is a
  fatigue/surface blind spot, not a real edge. No priced market clears the 5% bar.
