PASS — score 22.8/100 — evaluated 2026-08-17 05:19:01
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 (16.0/100)
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.

Geographic Breadth

Initial Significance Low (16.0/100). 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: Corroboration (25.0/25 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.

  • No likely Event type matched; a low contextual baseline was applied.
  • Entity Criticality data quality warning: all_linked_entities_data_insufficient.
  • 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
  • Entities were mentioned as context or document attribution rather than as actors in the reported development, so they did not increase Initial Confidence.
