Corruption Risk · 4-Vector Breakdown
Corruption isn't just trade-based. Here's the four ways political pressure can flow, scored independently from the public record.
Vector 1 · Personal Enrichment trade-based
The politician has filed zero trades across all recorded cycles (`get_sponsor_profile.trade_pattern`: 'inactive'). With no purchases, sales, or late filings, he presents no trade-based conflict-of-interest signal. There are no sector anomalies to analyze due to the absence of trading activity.
