Distribution bias
Priced common-share disposals are concentrated enough to warrant review, but they are not treated as a standalone bearish forecast.
Demand a stronger confirmation barDecision risks
- Qualifying disposal events outnumber acquisitions, although disposals receive a lower directional weight.
- The latest qualifying filing is more than 30 days old.

Reading the dossier
Direction and confidence are separate
Conviction
The 0 to 100 score classifies deduplicated priced common-share evidence. Fifty is balanced or non-directional.
Confidence
Confidence rises with controlled event depth, named-insider breadth, fresh evidence, normalized values, and a longer observation span.
Disposals
Selling is not treated as the mirror image of buying. It carries less directional weight because taxes, diversification, compensation, and planned transactions can all create sales.
Price confirmation
The market chart tests whether the filing thesis is being confirmed or rejected by price, fair-value position, relative strength, and the current trend state.
Independent market research for education. This classification is not investment advice, a recommendation, a forecast, or an execution instruction.
