Forensic Intelligence FAQ

What is threshold proximity detection?▼

Identifies contracts clustered just below thresholds (e.g. R500k, R1M) that trigger tighter procurement oversight, potentially indicating deliberate bid splitting.

How is the risk score calculated?▼

Scores are weighted by flag severity: Low (5pts) to Critical (40pts). Values are capped at 100, where 70+ indicates high investigative priority.

What is the market concentration (HHI) index?▼

Measures monopolistic tendencies within a department. Scores above 2500 indicate high concentration, suggesting potential vendor favoritism or restrictive competition.

Patterns flagged by this tool are for investigative review and professional auditing purposes only. A high risk score is a statistical indicator and does not definitively determine or imply legal wrongdoing.

All automated findings MUST be independently verified through document-level audits before any administrative or legal action is considered.
