PCA’s $140/ton containerboard price increase considered unprecedented

ProcIntel Risk Index (PRI) PRI indicates how much procurement risk attention a canonical event warrants, based on its potential impact, corroboration, linked-entity criticality, geographic or regulatory exposure, and confidence in the available evidence. — 10 · Minimal Freshness: Ageing Shows how recently the evidence supporting the event was updated. Freshness is displayed separately and does not automatically reduce PRI. Shows whether all structured inputs needed for the PRI are sufficiently assessed. Incomplete Entity Criticality data is disclosed rather than silently treated as low risk. DATA QUALITY WARNING

PRI: 10 — MINIMAL Base risk 23/100 × Low confidence multiplier (0.45). Highest contributor: Significance 46/100, normalised to this factor's 40-point cap (+18 of 40). Limiting factor: Linked-entity criticality 0/100, normalised to this factor's 30-point cap -- DATA QUALITY WARNING: all linked entities data insufficient (30 points below its maximum). DATA QUALITY WARNING: all linked entities data insufficient.

Confidence multiplier Confidence limits the final PRI when evidence is uncertain. A severe but weakly supported claim cannot reach the highest PRI bands.: 0.45 (Low) · Calculated 2026-08-01 12:59:38 (vv1).
