Procurement Relevance Gate

PASS — score 33.3/100 — evaluated 2026-08-19 18:02:37
Passed on: commodity_or_input_impact, capacity_production_disruption, geographic_exposure (score 33.3/100, threshold 20.0).
  • commodity_or_input_impact (weight 12) — matched on "oil"
  • capacity_production_disruption (weight 12) — matched on "capacity"
  • geographic_exposure (weight 8) — matched on "1 linked geography"

Initial Signal Assessment ProcIntel's automatic, provisional read of this individual Signal -- Initial Significance and Initial Confidence, computed deterministically before any Event extraction or human review.

A provisional, automatically-computed reading of this individual Signal, before Event extraction or human review. Not a final rating.

Initial Significance
3 · Material (41.0/100)
Initial Confidence
3 · Moderate (64.0/100)
Data sufficiency Whether enough structured evidence exists to trust this Signal's Initial Confidence reading. 'Sufficient' has no cap; 'Partial' and 'Insufficient' cap Confidence until more evidence is available; 'Not Assessed' means the Signal did not pass the Relevance Gate.

Initial Significance Material (41.0/100). Strongest contributor: Procurement Impact (27.0/30 points). Limiting factor: Geographic Breadth (0.0/10 points). Initial Confidence Moderate (64/100, data sufficiency: Partial). Strongest contributor: Source Authority (40.0/40 points). Limiting factor: Extraction Quality (3.0/15 points). Capped at 64 (Moderate) -- neither the authoritative-origin nor the independent-corroboration route to Sufficient was met (no matched Event type; no actor entities (only attribution/metadata, if any); no actor content-derived geography), limiting Confidence even though other factors scored higher.

  • No likely Event type matched; a low contextual baseline was applied.
  • Entity Criticality data quality warning: all_linked_entities_data_insufficient.
  • no matched Event type
  • no actor entities (only attribution/metadata, if any)
  • no actor content-derived geography
  • Entities were mentioned as context or document attribution rather than as actors in the reported development, so they did not increase Initial Confidence.
