STRUCTURAL: No federal contracts (`get_government_precedent.federal_contracts_summary` is null), $0 lobbying spend (`get_political_influence.lobbying.total_income`), and no corporate insider buys (`Recent corp insider Form 4 buys` is empty). EVIDENTIARY: Isolated but concentrated trading by one congressman (Rep. McCaul) across 7 trades in 2025, indicating specific, non-broad political interest.
