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

There is no personal stock trading activity, no family trades, and a `get_sponsor_profile.profile.late_filing_rate_pct` of 0.
