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
Derek Schmidt has filed zero trades since entering Congress, indicating either no personal stock activity or complete abstention from individual securities (`get_sponsor_profile.profile.trading_style`). No sector anomalies exist as the total trade count is zero (`get_politician_intelligence.sector_expertise`). His financial disclosure profile is effectively blank, eliminating the direct trading risk vector.
