The Risk Assesment Open Procurement Albania the algorithm for assessing the tenders of 61 municipalities in the country has promoted and strengthened fact-based journalism as civic journalism. JOQ, a massively and famous portal for its sense of humour, has published a list of individuals and businesses baptised as Municipality Clients. These businesses seem to have been awarded a significant share of contracts by certain municipalities through direct negotiations, and without any competition. The list is based on the anti-corruption instrument for risk assessment and clientelism in the Red Flag Tender Algorithm. This instrument is created by AIS. The phenomenon illustrated with data, is known as the process of concentration of public money in few hands through race-free and high-risk procedures for clientelism. Application of open data databases and automatic list via algorithms is a process that AIS has been doing for 5 years promoting the watchdog culture at municipal level.
