PRODUCT METHODOLOGY

How an equity event becomes an advisor-ready opportunity.

Affluensee does not rank isolated filings. It builds person-level context from observed activity, event sequence, transaction economics and timing—then shows the advisor why an opportunity deserves review.

THREE OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Context before conclusions.

The methodology is designed to make research faster without asking an advisor to trust a black box.

PERSON BEFORE FILING

One executive should appear once.

Related activity is consolidated into a single profile and timeline instead of becoming duplicate “leads.”

SEQUENCE BEFORE SCORE

The surrounding events change the meaning.

An exercise followed by a sale is different from an exercise-and-hold pattern. The order matters.

FACTS BEFORE INTERPRETATION

Observed, calculated and inferred are not interchangeable.

Each layer is labeled so an advisor can distinguish evidence from possible planning context.

FROM RAW ACTIVITY TO REVIEW QUEUE

The intelligence process.

Every opportunity moves through the same sequence. Classification happens before scoring, and related events are connected before the platform explains why the moment may matter.

OBSERVE

Capture reportable activity and its context.

Security, transaction type, shares, price, ownership form, dates, role and relevant disclosures establish the factual layer.

CLASSIFY

Determine what actually changed.

Completed sale, proposed-sale notice, option exercise, award, purchase, ownership change or routine administration receive different treatment.

CONNECT

Normalize the person and build the sequence.

Names, issuers and related events are consolidated so activity across different days appears in one executive timeline.

QUANTIFY

Translate the event into usable economics.

Disclosed value, estimated proceeds, exercise cost, economic spread and available concentration context are calculated and labeled.

PRIORITIZE

Rank what deserves advisor attention first.

Magnitude, timing, role, sequence, novelty and evidence quality shape relative review priority.

SIGNAL TAXONOMY

The activity type determines the advisor question.

Affluensee does not collapse every disposition or ownership change into generic liquidity.

Stock Sale

Observed transaction

Review proceeds, timing, sequence and the company equity that may remain.

Proposed Sale

Disclosed proposal

Treat as proposed activity requiring prompt review—not a completed transaction, confirmed proceeds or guaranteed lead time.

Option Exercise

Equity-compensation event

Separate exercise cost from economic spread and connect any later sale activity.

Equity Award

Future ownership complexity

Surface meaningful new grants with vesting, withholding and concentration context.

Insider Purchase

Increasing exposure

Identify meaningful additions to company-stock ownership without assuming motivation.

Ownership Change

Context without a liquidity claim

Preserve material changes that warrant review while filtering routine administration.

OPPORTUNITY PRIORITY

The score answers one question: what should the advisor review first?

It is a relative workflow ranking—not a confidence percentage, net-worth estimate or prediction that someone will become a client.

THE EVIDENCE MODEL

Three layers. Never one vague claim.

The advisor should always be able to tell what was observed, what Affluensee calculated and what remains a planning consideration.

OBSERVED

What the disclosure establishes

Person, issuer, role, transaction or notice type, date, shares, price, ownership form and supporting evidence.

Facts from the underlying activity
CALCULATED

What the platform derives

Event value, estimated proceeds, exercise economics, connected sequence, elapsed time and relative priority.

Math and matching with labeled assumptions
ADVISOR CONSIDERATION

What may deserve a conversation

Liquidity, tax coordination, diversification, concentrated stock, equity compensation or estate-planning context.

A research prompt—not a personal recommendation
Proposed activityOpen, matched, partially matched, ambiguous or expired-unmatched—not silently converted into a sale.
GeographyFiling or issuer location is labeled precisely and never presented as verified residence.
Advisor statusUnknown means unknown. It is never rewritten as “unadvised.”
FORM 144 VALIDATION

Two clocks. Five match states. No unmeasured timing claim.

A Form 144 notice is measured against later completed-sale evidence at the same person and issuer. Open notices remain proposed; ambiguous matches are not forced.

MATCH STATE

Completion evidence stays explicit.

Every notice is labeled open, matched, partially matched, ambiguous or expired-unmatched.

ECONOMIC LEAD

Filing to transaction date.

Calendar days from the Form 144 filing timestamp to the reported completed-transaction date.

INFORMATION LEAD

Filing to Form 4 acceptance.

Hours from the Form 144 filing timestamp to the matched Form 4 filing timestamp when both times are reliable.

Current claim stateValidation is in progress. Affluensee does not publish a lead-time guarantee without a sufficient observed sample.
Open noticesExcluded from completion-rate denominators until the observation period closes.
Marketing thresholdA timing claim is gated by sample size and observed distribution—not selected anecdotes.
WHERE ADVISOR JUDGMENT BEGINS

Affluensee prepares the review. The advisor owns the decision.

The platform moves research upstream so the advisor starts with context. It does not replace suitability, compliance review, personal discovery or professional judgment.
