Analysis

Agents split into two camps: those emphasizing SEIU's organizational capacity and opposition's revealed preference (62-72%) vs those emphasizing historical base rates and funding disparity (48-56%). The strongest specific evidence comes from Agent 2 (opposition behavior signals expected qualification) and Agent 6 (leverage/withdrawal risk). My estimate of 62% is marginally above market (59.5%) but the edge of ~2.5% is far below the 5% threshold for trading. The key unknown - whether SEIU will actually submit signatures vs negotiate a deal - is genuinely unresolvable with current information. The signature math is tight but feasible with professional operations. I cannot justify a trade given the marginal edge, the withdrawal risk blind spot, and fundamental agent disagreement on the core question.

Key Evidence

Opposition spending $35M on counter-initiatives rather than blocking signatures (revealed preference they expect qualification); SEIU-UHW collected 25% of signatures in ~12 days with escalating bounties to $12/signature

Risks

SEIU-UHW could withdraw the initiative as part of a backroom deal with Governor Newsom on healthcare funding - this is their historical pattern and Agent 6's unique insight that most agents underweighted
