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
- 2 · Moderate (35.0/100)
- Initial Confidence
- 2 · Low (26.5/100)
- 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.
