The CQS Index
One score per stock for how strong the congressional buying signal on it is right now, built only from Periodic Transaction Reports filed under the STOCK Act. A stock enters the index when a single member discloses a purchase of $100,001 or more, when two or more members buy it inside 90 days, or when a buyer sits on a committee with jurisdiction over an agency that awards the company work. Everything here is public disclosure. Informational, not investment advice.

Congress Quality Score measures the strength of a disclosed, lawful trading signal from Periodic Transaction Reports filed under the STOCK Act. Dollar figures are estimates: PTRs report ranges, not amounts. Nothing here implies impropriety. Grade bands match the Insider Score so the two read as one system: 90+ A+, 80–89 A, 70–79 B+, 60–69 B, below 60 C. Weights started at Brief v9’s values and were adjusted once against a point-in-time backtest of 458 as-of dates from 2018 to today, scored on what had been filed by each date. That backtest does not validate them: on a 2024–2026 holdout the highest-scoring names did not reliably beat the lowest at one, three, six or twelve months, and with roughly six qualifying stocks on a typical date the sample is too thin for the decile test the brief asks for. Two components — committee influence and contract alignment — could not be tested at all, because committee rosters and contract flags are only now being recorded day by day. Read the score as a structured summary of disclosed congressional buying, not as a forecast of returns.
