v0.3.0 — procurement red flags
Procurement red flags. ihalent flags surfaces the per-award risk signals that transparency and audit work looks for — the same family as single-bid, generalised:
ihalent flags awards.jsonl
ihalent flags awards.jsonl --low-discount 5 # widen the near-estimate band
ihalent flags awards.jsonl --json
Each flag is a reason to open the file, never a verdict:
- single_bid — one valid bid: no competing offer.
- low_discount — the contract landed at or above the public estimate (negative discounts included): no downward price pressure.
- no_estimate — no estimate was published, so the award can't be audited.
- high_dropout — many firms took the documents, almost none submitted a valid bid.
An award can raise several at once; the ones raising the most flags — and the most money — sort to the top, and the coverage travels with the counts. On the bundled example it surfaces a real award that closed 2.96% above its estimate.
Available three ways: the CLI command, a flags MCP tool, and ihalent.analytics.risk_flags.
