What is holding the score back?
- ⚠ Cluster breadth is moderate · 1 insider(s), not 4+
- ⚠ Role scores low · most senior buyer: TenPercentOwner (CEO, chair and 10% owners score lowest)
- ⚠ Buying conviction is reduced by concurrent selling
- ✓ Recent activity · latest purchase 2026-10-15
Purchase-size comments are relative to the model scale. Average daily volume is a separate market-context diagnostic.
US-v1.2 ranks qualifying equity purchases under the current 180-day rules. The score is a research priority, not a return forecast or probability. Backtests have not shown that a higher US score is followed by better returns.
