## 2. SEC Form 4 Fundamentals & Transaction Codes

Corporate insiders are legally mandated by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to disclose changes in beneficial ownership within two business days.

### Common Transaction Codes
- **P (Purchase):** Open market or private purchase of non-derivative or derivative securities. The strongest historical bullish indicator.
- **S (Sale):** Open market or private sale of securities. May reflect diversification, tax planning, or bearish conviction.
- **M (Exercise/Conversion):** Exercise or conversion of derivative security (options, warrants).
- **A (Grant/Award):** Grant, award, or other acquisition of securities under an executive compensation plan.
- **G (Gift):** Bona fide gift of securities.
- **F (Tax Withholding):** Payment of exercise price or tax liability by withholding securities.
- **D (Surrender):** Return of securities to the issuer.

### Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans
Transactions executed pursuant to a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan are flagged. Non-planned discretionary purchases by C-suite executives carry significantly higher predictive alpha than programmatic sales under 10b5-1 plans.

## 3. Proprietary Quantitative Scoring Engine

### Insider Confidence Score (1–100)
Every covered ticker is assigned a dynamic Insider Confidence Score based on a weighted multi-factor model:

1. **Role Hierarchy Weighting (35%):**
   - Chief Executive Officer (CEO): 1.00 weight
   - Chief Financial Officer (CFO): 0.90 weight
   - Chief Operating Officer / President: 0.80 weight
   - Director / Board Member: 0.65 weight
   - 10% Beneficial Owner: 0.40 weight (often institutional funds, less informative on operational performance)

2. **Cluster Buying Coefficient (30%):**
   - 3+ distinct insiders purchasing within a 14-day rolling window: +35 points
   - 2 distinct insiders purchasing within a 14-day window: +20 points
   - Single insider purchase: baseline

3. **Transaction Magnitude & Relative Size (20%):**
   - Absolute dollar value ($100k+, $500k+, $1M+).
   - Relative change in personal holdings (e.g. increasing ownership by > 20% indicates exceptionally strong conviction).

4. **Market Capitalization & Historical Base (15%):**
   - Small-cap (< $2B) and Mid-cap ($2B–$10B) transactions receive higher informational weight than mega-cap stocks due to greater market asymmetry.
