What this monitors

On a negRisk basket (a market with several mutually-exclusive outcomes), the “Yes” asks should sum to about $1. If they ever sum to less than $1, buying one share of every outcome costs under a dollar but pays out exactly $1 — a riskless edge.

In practice the order book almost always prices this out by ~the spread — the tightest complete basket right now sums to 97.7¢, just over $1. That’s expected; a standing sub-$1 basket would be taken instantly. The value here is the continuous watch, not a promise of arbs.
