WHY THIS SIGNAL?
Score anatomy
Each bar shows the contribution to the current score; the weights and formula stay unchanged.
What is holding the score back?
- ⚠ Purchase size is modest relative to the model scale
- ⚠ Buying conviction is reduced by concurrent selling
- ✓ Cluster breadth is broad · 4+ insiders
- ✓ Role scores high · most senior buyer: Director
- ✓ Recent activity · latest purchase 2026-09-28
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.

Owner lanes show the latest 180 days. Symbol shape identifies the transaction type; sales remain context only.
