The problem it solves

Public trade disclosures from lawmakers are buried in filings that almost nobody has time to read. Spotting a trade that lines up suspiciously with a committee hearing or a policy decision means digging through records most people never check.

Who it fits

Investors, journalists, or watchdog groups tracking potential conflicts of interest in public office.

How it works

  1. New public stock trade disclosures from lawmakers are checked
  2. Each trade is cross-referenced against committee assignments and recent events
  3. Trades with suspicious timing or overlap are flagged with the reasoning
  4. An alert is sent summarizing the flagged trades
What you get

Conflicts of interest flagged for you

You get an alert whenever a lawmaker's stock trade lines up suspiciously with their committee assignments or recent events, with the reasoning laid out.

What you get

An alert listing flagged trades, the lawmaker involved, and the reason each one looks suspicious.

What you need

Access to public financial disclosure records and an email account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
