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.15 · 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: 15 — MINIMAL Base risk 21/100 × Moderate confidence multiplier (0.70). Highest contributor: Significance 40/100, normalised to this factor's 40-point cap (+16 of 40).
