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
Clyburn reports zero personal stock trades across all available disclosure periods (`get_sponsor_profile.profile.total_trades_5yr`: 0). There is no sector anomaly to analyze, as the sample size is zero. His financial activity through the STOCK Act disclosure system is entirely inactive, making him one of the cleanest trading profiles in the House (`get_sponsor_profile.profile.trading_style`).

Vector 2 · Donor Funding money in
Corporate PACs dominate his funding, with the 'corporate_other' sector contributing 32.6% ($11.1M) of his total PAC money (`get_donor_industry_breakdown.top_industries[0]`). Top PAC industries align directly with his committee jurisdictions: energy/utilities (7.3%), defense (3.8%), insurance (3.5%), and transportation (5.7%) (`get_sponsor_profile.profile.top_pac_industries`). This creates a structural donor-to-committee alignment score of 74 (`get_sponsor_profile.profile.donor_to_committee_alignment_score`).
