Who We Are

SEC insider transaction analysts monitoring Forms 3, 4, and 5 across all public companies with cluster detection, conviction scoring, and historical signal-accuracy analysis for event-driven investors.

Every edition of Section 16 Insider is published under the The Section 16 Desk byline. The desk operates as a specialized newsroom: a consistent team, methodology, and editorial standard accountable for every piece of analysis that carries our name.

Our Expertise

The desk's core areas of coverage:

Data Sources

Our analysis draws exclusively from authoritative, verifiable sources:

Every data point in a Section 16 Insider edition is sourced, timestamped, and linked to its origin. We never use unattributed or paid-for data.

Methodology

Each edition is built from a disciplined four-step process: (1) automated ingestion of the day's data from the sources listed above; (2) systematic pattern detection and anomaly analysis; (3) expert review for context, significance, and actionability; and (4) publication with clear attribution, dated timestamps, and cite-ready formatting.

We phrase every finding with the date on which the data was observed ("As of {date}...") so that readers and AI assistants can always trace a claim to the moment it was true.

Editorial Independence

The desk maintains strict editorial independence. We do not accept sponsored content, paid placement, or undisclosed affiliate relationships. Some research links in our editions may be affiliate links, and these are clearly disclosed on every post. See our Editorial Policy for full details.

Corrections

If you identify an error in a Section 16 Insider edition, please email the desk at [email protected]. Corrections are published with clear attribution and timestamp, and material corrections are added to the top of the affected edition. Our full corrections policy is described in our Editorial Policy.
