Recruitment Threat Audit Index (RTAI): An Open-Source Intelligence Risk Scoring Model and Evidence Chain Audit Mechanism for Higher Education Talent Recruitment

This dataset is constructed based on the paper ‘Recruitment Threat Audit Index (RTAI): An Open-Source Intelligence Risk Scoring Model and Evidence Chain Audit Mechanism for Higher Education Talent Recruitment’. It aims to translate potential risks in university talent recruitment and academic qualification verification processes into a structured, computable scoring system in a reproducible and auditable manner. The dataset provides discrete scoring rules and weighting parameters for eight core indicators (I1–I8), alongside tiered thresholds (Green/Yellow/Orange/Red) and corresponding governance action recommendations. It is complemented by a ‘Claim–Evidence’ traceability table and links to external OSINT sources, ensuring end-to-end verifiability from conclusions to supporting evidence. This dataset facilitates risk identification, evidence chain auditing, and decision support for academic research and governance practices, while being scalable for broader institutional assessments and automated audit scenarios.
