Procurement Relevance Gate

PASS — score 22.8/100 — evaluated 2026-07-31 08:55:19
Passed on: logistics_freight_transport, geographic_exposure (score 22.8/100, threshold 20.0).
  • logistics_freight_transport (weight 12) — matched on "vessel"
  • 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
1 · Low (15.0/100)
Initial Confidence
2 · Low (20.5/100)
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.

Impact-Scale Specificity

Initial Significance Low (15.0/100). Strongest contributor: Procurement Impact (6.0/30 points). Limiting factor: Impact-Scale Specificity (0.0/10 points). Initial Confidence Low (20.5/100, 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
  • Entities were mentioned as context or document attribution rather than as actors in the reported development, so they did not increase Initial Confidence.
  • Geographies were mentioned only in diplomatic reaction, commentary or background context rather than as the actor, event location or affected party in the reported development, so they did not increase Initial Confidence.
  • Only source-level geography metadata was available.
  • Source metadata did not contribute to Initial Confidence.
  • 1 distinct hedging pattern(s) matched (capped at 20).
