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.
—
21 · Low
Freshness: Fresh Shows how recently the evidence supporting the event was updated. Freshness is displayed separately and does not automatically reduce PRI.
PRI: 21 — LOW Base risk 30/100 × Moderate confidence multiplier (0.70). Highest contributor: Significance 44/100, normalised to this factor's 40-point cap (+18 of 40). Limiting factor: Linked-entity criticality 24/100, normalised to this factor's 30-point cap (23 points below its maximum).
Confidence multiplier Confidence limits the final PRI when evidence is uncertain. A severe but weakly supported claim cannot reach the highest PRI bands.: 0.7 (Moderate) · Calculated 2026-08-20 08:07:33 (vv1).
