Sample case
Case 2: Large sale, no history
The rule behind this flag compares a trade with the insider's own past, but there is no past here. A trustworthy system says plainly that it has nothing to compare against instead of inventing a baseline.
Set when the scenario was designed. A rules-based reference investigation reaches it from the evidence.
Recorded live run on 2026-11-01 using gpt-4o-2024-08-06 and gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18, costing $0.045.
A recorded run of the AI investigator
No earlier trades by this insider were found in the 180 days before this one, so there is nothing to compare it against.
