Every claim in a Note is labelled: observed facts from official notices, inference with an explicit confidence level, and a verification path so you can check us before you commit bid resources. Where evidence is incomplete, we rank competing explanations instead of picking a story. When we correct ourselves, we say so in print.
Sources are exclusively official and open-licensed: TED (© EU, CC BY 4.0), national procurement registers, UN and US trade statistics. We publish what the data supports — never bid advice, never legal advice.
Procurement Pattern Reports — cross-buyer benchmarks (vehicle-dependence percentiles, incumbent-persistence rankings, single-bid rates by sector and country) from the same graph that powers the Notes.
