CEO open-market buying at $2.08 is the strongest signal in this cluster; Directors buying a large portion of salary or discretionary cash flow adds conviction. Monitor for upcoming earnings or material agreements (cross-filing amplifiers present) — the cluster may be reactive to under-the-radar positive developments. This is a modest but valid bullish signal at a $42M market cap.
