Not all opportunities deserve equal attention.
A fundamental challenge in exploration is deciding where to allocate limited time, capital, expertise, and computational resources.
This paper evaluates opportunity ranking through survivorship analysis, constraint weighting, support-network density, predictive contribution, and decision-quality improvement.
The objective is to prioritize opportunities according to the strength of available evidence rather than the volume of available data.
Within ABC Sequencing, opportunity ranking functions as an intelligence layer positioned between observation and investment.
The highest-value opportunity is not necessarily the location with the most information.
The highest-value opportunity is often the location where independent observations most strongly reinforce the same decision pathway.
