How ProcIntel works
  1. Collected Signal A news item, regulatory update, market report or other source record gathered by ProcIntel before it is consolidated into a canonical Event.
  2. Relevant Signal A collected Signal that passed ProcIntel's deterministic procurement-relevance assessment.
  3. Canonical Event A verified Event record representing one distinct real-world procurement development, potentially supported by multiple Signals.
  4. Developing Intelligence An evolving procurement situation made up of several distinct but clearly related events over time.
  5. Report

Every source item ProcIntel gathers starts as a Collected Signal. Signals that pass a relevance check become Relevant Signals, which are consolidated into Canonical Events. Related Events that unfold over time form Developing Intelligence, and the most important developments are selected into a Report.
