Confidence guide
Confidence is a safety feature, not decoration.
Confidence should explain how clear the visible cues are, not make a result feel more certain than it is.
Search intent
The searcher wants to know whether an AI pet result can be trusted.
Quick answer
Confidence should explain how clear the visible cues are, not make a result feel more certain than it is.
What to observe
Log the cue combination, not only the headline cue.
- Low light, crop, motion blur, or hidden body posture can reduce confidence.
- Conflicting context should be named as uncertainty.
- A low-confidence result can still be useful as a journal note.
