- 2 · Moderate (37.0/100)
- Initial Confidence
- 3 · Moderate (42.75/100)
- 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 Moderate (37.0/100). Strongest contributor: Likely Event Severity (18.0/30 points). Limiting factor: Procurement Impact (6.0/30 points). Initial Confidence Moderate (42.75/100, data sufficiency: Partial). Strongest contributor: Source Authority (20.0/40 points). Limiting factor: Corroboration (2.5/25 points).
- Entity Criticality data quality warning: all_linked_entities_data_insufficient.
- 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.
- Suppressed: a binding, unhedged Event-classifier phrase confirmed the same core action.
