Methodology and downloads
Built for scrutiny, not a headline
We parsed 16,203 structured CanadaBuys tender-notice rows across three fiscal years, retained the newest amendment for each reference, screened for development-oriented language, removed exact normalized title duplicates, ranked classifier confidence, and selected 100 records.
The result is a purposive feasibility sample. It should not be used to estimate the prevalence of a requirement across all procurement or to infer that an unmentioned requirement was absent. Source file hashes and the full selected record set are published with the analysis.
