What this detector measures

Member's reported trades cluster ≥85% at standard PTR amount-bracket boundaries — manual filing without precise transaction amounts, compliance-accuracy signal.

What to ask the senator's office

  1. Has the member's office reconciled the bracket-clustered trades against their brokerage statements?
  2. Did the bracket-clustering pattern shift after the 2017 STOCK Act amendments (smaller PTR brackets)?
  3. Has the Senate / House Ethics Committee questioned the disclosure-precision pattern?
