Why this was flagged
Gradient-boosted residuals evaluated this work against 387 comparable sanctions in Kerala for the same category and financial year. Final expenditure diverges from the approved estimate beyond the tolerance learned for that work category, district and year. The residual for this record falls outside the learned tolerance, and the contribution breakdown below isolates which measured features carried the score.
