The Convergence Framework.

The Convergence Framework is the Layer 1 deep dive for single-name equity at roughly $200M to $5B market cap, the band where retail edge actually lives, because institutional liquidity has not yet fully formed and convergence signals are not yet crowded. The standard reads do not work here: gamma profiles are useless on thin chains, dark-pool services do not cover most names under a million ADV, and sell-side coverage is patchy. The data exists. It is scattered across six independent SEC and federal filings.

This issue is the rule that turns those scattered sources into structural conviction: a single source is noise, two simultaneous independent sources is interesting, three or more is convergence. You will leave with the six-source matrix (Form 4 insider clusters, 13F shifts, 8-K catalysts, government contracts, sector flow, unusual options flow), a confluence score, sizing and risk rules for Tier C plays, and the failure modes that ruin this approach in practice.
