The auction was quite surprising, as out of nowhere, three new players emerged and became partners of the royal family.
To keep the process fair, Vijay had come up with a formula to score each bidder and decide the winner of the auction. The company with the highest score would naturally win.
The score was based on three main factors. The first was the technical ability score, rated between 0 and 10, which measured the company's technical strength and capability. The second was the investment score, also rated from 0 to 10. This score was calculated by dividing the bidder's investment by the highest bidder's offer and then multiplying by ten to get a normalised score. The third factor was the reliability score, again between 0 and 10, based on the company's trustworthiness and track record.
