58c contagion lag: Democratic FL-23 lags CA-17 trigger by 78c

C1 and C3 show Democratic House race triggers in CA-17 and CA-44 moving +78c delta while FL-23 Democratic contract sits at 82c — a -58c contagion gap. The uniform gap across 8 contract pairs (C1 through C8) at identical -58c magnitude signals a structural pricing inefficiency rather than noise. FL-23 at 82c should be re-rated toward trigger-implied fair value as election cycle information propagates. Buy the lagging FL-23 Democratic contract before contagion closes the gap.

All eight contagion gaps in the dataset share an identical -58c structure, with trigger districts moving 78c while lagging districts remain mispriced at 82-83c. This uniform gap suggests a systemic pricing lag across correlated House races rather than idiosyncratic risk. The edge is fading the laggards toward their fair value implied by the trigger contracts.
