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
- 1 · Low (11.0/100)
- Initial Confidence
- 2 · Low (25.5/100)
- 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.
- Insufficient
- Strongest contributor
- Procurement Impact
- Limiting factor
- Geographic Breadth
Initial Significance Low (11.0/100). Strongest contributor: Procurement Impact (6.0/30 points). Limiting factor: Geographic Breadth (0.0/10 points). Initial Confidence Low (25.5/100, data sufficiency: Insufficient). Strongest contributor: Source Authority (20.0/40 points). Limiting factor: Specificity (0.0/20 points).
- No likely Event type matched; a low contextual baseline was applied.
- No eligible (non-geographic, non-fictional) entities were linked to this Signal.
- no confidence-specificity evidence (actor entity, date, quantified value, or concrete verb)
- no matched Event type
- no actor entities (only attribution/metadata, if any)
- no actor content-derived geography
- single source only
