    ‘Bid data’ is fully described on page 121 onwards in our SBL notes and associated lectures.

    An algorithm is ‘a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.’

    For example, an algorithm could be the rules in a computer program which helps to identify probable bad debts by analysing payment history, receivables days, over/under credit limit etc.
