[object Object]
STRUCTURAL: No lobbying spend ($0 per get_political_influence.lobbying.total_income), no PAC donations, low government dependence (no federal contracts per get_government_precedent). EVIDENTIARY: Direct executive branch holdings (Trump and Duffy per get_executive_branch_exposure.by_ticker) and active congressional trading (16 trades by 3 politicians per top congressional traders). Net: Evidentiary signals from high-profile holdings and trading offset by lack of structural influence infrastructure.
