RateSafe: The App Giving Truck Drivers Decision-Making Power [Hackathon Winner]

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. — historical only (this event is rejected, so PRI is not shown as current customer-facing intelligence, but its calculation history below is preserved). — 9 · 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: 9 — MINIMAL Base risk 21/100 × Low confidence multiplier (0.45). Highest contributor: Significance 41/100, normalised to this factor's 40-point cap (+16 of 40). Limiting factor: Linked-entity criticality 0/100, normalised to this factor's 30-point cap -- DATA QUALITY WARNING: no eligible entities (30 points below its maximum). DATA QUALITY WARNING: no eligible entities.

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 just now (vv1).

Full contribution breakdown
  • Procurement Impact: 16 / 40 — Significance 41/100, normalised to this factor's 40-point cap
  • Corroboration: 5 / 15 — A single event -- not yet corroborated by a separate clustered event (neutral baseline, not a penalty)
  • Entity Criticality: 0 / 30 — Linked-entity criticality 0/100, normalised to this factor's 30-point cap -- DATA QUALITY WARNING: no eligible entities
  • Geographic Regulatory: 0 / 15 — 0 distinct content-linked geography/geographies
