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 (39.0/100)
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 Low (11.0/100). Strongest contributor: Procurement Impact (6.0/30 points). Limiting factor: Geographic Breadth (0.0/10 points). Initial Confidence Low (39/100, data sufficiency: Insufficient). Strongest contributor: Source Authority (40.0/40 points). Limiting factor: Specificity (0.0/20 points). Capped at 39 (Low) -- insufficient structured evidence to support a higher Confidence reading, regardless of source authority.
