Price movement is a descriptive comparison. Buy / ADTV is shown only when the insider value and turnover use the same currency; it is not an estimate of market impact.

Coverage and evidence quality

Eligible companies: 216 · Buying companies: 21 · Price history: 115 · Complete purchase values: 23

Not available yet: earnings-related buying (no results dates captured for these companies in the last 180 days); outcomes after earlier buying (no archived snapshot has 20 days of prices after it yet).

A missing value is reported as unavailable and does not lower a signal. Source filing links remain the audit record.

Participation is not a return forecast. No sector score is added. Missing detail is not zero activity.
