WHY THIS SIGNAL?
Score anatomy
Each bar shows the contribution to the current score; the weights and formula stay unchanged.
Cluster+7.0 / 35
How many distinct insiders bought in the cluster
Purchase size+11.5 / 25
Purchase value relative to company size and liquidity
Role+0.0 / 20
The seniority and relevance of participating insiders
Recency+3.2 / 10
How recently the purchases occurred
Conviction+10.0 / 10
How clearly buying stands out from other activity
What is holding the score back?
- ⚠ Buyer breadth is moderate · fewer than 4 distinct filers
- ⚠ Purchase size is modest relative to the model scale
- ⚠ Insider role contributes less on the current role scale
- ⚠ Purchase activity is becoming less recent
The role contribution follows the US model's seniority ladder.
Buying concentration
100%
Largest buyer：Leverton Jaime · 255k USD
Gross qualified purchase transaction-line value：255k USD
The headline $ total is net buying for the screen; this module uses gross qualified purchase transaction-line values in the filing currency, so the amounts can differ. The current 15-day buyer-breadth input counts distinct buyers; value concentration is disclosed separately here.
This is a ranking under the current US screening rules—not a probability of gain, return forecast, or buy recommendation.

BULL VS BEAR
Two readings of this buying
The same filings, read two ways. Each line is a fact stored for this company with the number behind it, and appears only when that number crosses a fixed threshold. Neither side is a forecast and no winner is declared.
Where the evidence comes from
- The insider purchases themselvesBearone buyer only5 checked, under the threshold · 3 missing
- Share price and tradingno data held
- Short sellers1 checked, under the threshold
- Company results2 missing
- Company actionsno data held
Bull case · the buying is informative
Nothing held here goes beyond the fact that an insider bought.
Bear case · discount it
- Only one insider bought. A single purchase can reflect that person's own finances rather than a view on the company.
Evidence still missing
- No buyer here has 5 or more completed earlier purchases on record, so there is no track record to weigh.
- The company's market value is not captured, so the purchases cannot be stated as a share of the business or of its trading volume.
- No earnings, margin or cash-flow figures are captured for this company. The latest annual and interim reports are where to check whether the business is improving or deteriorating.
- The 10b5-1 box of these Form 4 filings has not been read, so whether the purchases followed a pre-arranged plan is not known.
- Form 4 states the shares held after each trade. This site reads that from the SEC's quarterly data, which is published after a quarter ends, so it does not have it yet for these filings. Whether a purchase added 1% to a personal stake or doubled it is in the filing, not on this page.
Checked and under the threshold: 6, 1 close to it
- EitherThe latest purchase is 68 days old. Bull up to 14 days, bear from 90. close to the threshold
- Either1 insider bought in the last 180 days and 0 in the 180 days before. Bull when the number at least doubles and rises by two; bear when at least two bought before and no more buy now.
- EitherNet purchases of $255k in 180 days. Bull from $1.0M, bear when all purchases total under $25k.
- BearNo insider sale is recorded in the same 180 days.
- BearNo insider filing in the last 180 days opened a hedge on this stock.
- BearFINRA short interest on 2026-09-30 equals 1.0 days of average trading volume, up 76% from the previous report. Counted for the bear side from 10 days, or from 10% of the shares outstanding.
Both columns arrange stored facts only. They do not change the insider score or the ranking and are not investment advice.
Why this score? · Model details
Priority = 100 × Σ(fixed weight × 0–1 rule-based input)

This is a heuristic ordering under the current rules, not a calibrated return forecast. It explains why candidates rank differently; the public-filing evidence and data limits are shown below.

Why did it change?
Less than 30 days of comparable history is available, so factor movement is not yet decomposed.

Insider profile outcomes
Historical performance following insider filings. The company role is translated below each name while preserving the original title.
- Excess return = stock return − S&P 500 ETF (SPY adjusted close) return over the same period.
- Hit rate = completed events with positive excess return ÷ total completed events.
- Price coverage = valid point-in-time prices ÷ events mature enough for that period.
- Returns start on the first shared trading session on or after publication.
- Small-sample rule: n<5 is shown for transparency and is not scored.
Events are disclosure-level observations; related disclosures published on the same date may share a return path and may not be statistically independent. This research enrichment does not affect the insider score or ranking.

Filing evidence
These are underlying national-feed records from the 365-day window ending on the saved ranking snapshot. The score uses only the latest 180 days; older qualifying equity purchases remain visible for audit but do not enter the current score. The original filer, role, transaction classification, instrument, price, volume, value and source fields are retained. The first three rows are shown; remaining records can be unfolded for audit. Other transaction types are retained but excluded from the score.
