The Pricing & Scope Confidence Indicator

Estimatics attaches a confidence indicator — high, medium, or low — to the things the AI proposes: AI-drafted scope lines and regional reference prices. It's a review aid, not a grade. It tells you where to look first, not what to accept.


Two places you'll see it

  • On AI-drafted scope lines — how confident the AI is that the line reflects the finding it came from.
  • On a regional reference price — how confident the pricing lookup is in the number, given the sources it found.

Confidence is a qualitative indicator (high / medium / low), not a numeric score or a promise of accuracy.

Confirmed vs. inferred

Alongside confidence, each line carries a status:

  • Inferred — proposed by the AI, not yet reviewed by you.
  • Confirmed — reviewed and accepted by you.

Together these two signals give you a simple triage: an inferred, low-confidence line is the first thing to check; a confirmed line is one you've already stood behind.

How to use it

  1. Sort your attention by risk: start with inferred, lower-confidence lines and high-value items.
  2. Verify each against the evidence — the photo, the measurement, the finding.
  3. Confirm what's right, fix what's off, remove what doesn't belong.

What it is not

Confidence does not mean a line is correct, and it does not make a price defensible on its own. It's a way to spend your review time where it matters most. The judgment — and the responsibility for the final estimate — stays with you.
