ALGORITHMIC ACCOUNTABILITY

When members trade near legislative activity

Every suspicious timing. Every detected pattern. Raw public data turned into clear red flags.

These patterns flag stock trades that occur unusually close to bill introductions and related legislative events (detector P1 uses Congress.gov introduced dates — not roll-call vote dates). Enriched with smoking gun signatures, PFD wealth/position data, and LDA conflict overlays. Recent patterns are open without an account; sign in for the full pre-2023 archive and departed officials.

Automated timing flags — not convictions

Each finding compares a trade date to when a bill was introduced on Congress.gov. Severity (High / Medium / Low) is a computer score, not a legal judgment. Always confirm using official filings and primary sources before publishing.

Data sources
How to read a finding
  • High / Medium / Low — how strong the timing looks to our software (high — strong timing signal; verify on congress.gov and disclosure filings).
  • Bill introduction — we compare trade dates to when a bill was first introduced on Congress.gov, not roll-call vote dates.
  • Not proof — a flag means “worth checking,” not “they broke the law.” Use the citation links and official PTR filings.
