The Overview tab provides an aggregate view of congressional disclosure activity for the selected period. It includes summary figures for total trades, buy and sell amounts, followed by three sections:
- Sector Allocation Heatmap: Sector distribution of disclosed trades by party and chamber.
- Amount by Ticker & Sector: Disclosed volume by asset across the full ticker universe.
- Top 20 Politicians: Top politicians ranked by total disclosed volume for the selected period.
The tab also includes a Filters panel at the top, which applies to all three sections. It contains a time range selector with preset options (Month, Quarter, Year) and a custom date range picker. The panel is sticky and can be collapsed using the arrow in the top-right corner.
