Inferences from a Timeline plot
The timeline for each bid is standardized. The application time for each participant is shown in the blue circles. The large blue ball represents the bid application time of that participant who has been awarded the bid. The bids awarded for those participants who has applied for the bid at the ending time or starting time are suspicious. Such bids must be invetigated. The bid item is searched in Amazon.com and highly matched cases are scrapped. Such items prices are compared with the price of the item for which the bid is offered in GeM. The items that are available in amazon for lesser amount are shown in orange.
