Illustrative scenario A, not a measured contractor result: a team records 29 points but scores 1 on document permission. Its total suggests trial preparation, but the permission gate prevents confidential uploads; the next action is authorisation and data review, with synthetic testing available meanwhile.
Illustrative scenario B, not a measured contractor result: another team records 22 points, with all three pilot gates at 2. It should close baseline and cost gaps before committing broadly; a very narrow offline discovery exercise may still be proportionate if the sponsor approves its purpose.
The examples explain the scoring logic, not the probability of project success.
