"When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science, whatever the matter may be."
Lord Kelvin

In the first version of its article describing our research, the Hungarian news portal, 444.hu, incorrectly stated that the CRCB’s flash report dealt with the risk of corruption in public procurement conducted by the National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH). The online news portal has since corrected this error. We did not address this issue in the CRCB statistical flash report. However, it may be interesting to see how the corruption risk of public procurement conducted by the NMHH has changed since 2010.
