Scoring candidates…
Scoring methodology. The overspend factor is calculated directly from observed vs statutory limits. The remaining five factors are seeded from deterministic heuristics until each vector has a dedicated live feed (procurement portal joins, beneficial-ownership registers, INEC disclosures).
