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
- Sort your attention by risk: start with inferred, lower-confidence lines and high-value items.
- Verify each against the evidence — the photo, the measurement, the finding.
- 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.
