Jev Shows Its Confidence Math
TypeSafe AI documents how Jev derives confidence from probability distributions for Choice and Score answers, enabling developers to gate automation, review, or fallback behavior. The formulas are transparent, but confidence remains a signal of distribution concentration—not a guarantee of correctness; see https://docs.typesafe.ai/confidence.
Publishing the math is the right move: uncertainty only becomes useful when developers can inspect, test, and route around it.
- –Choice confidence normalizes the top probability against an even split; Score confidence also considers distance between ordered levels.
- –Full probability distributions let teams replace the default statistic with a metric better suited to their domain.
- –High-, medium-, and low-confidence bands map naturally to automation, confirmation, and human review.
- –The real test is empirical calibration on held-out production-like data, not how persuasive the confidence number looks.
- –This positions Jev as decision infrastructure rather than another chatbot wrapper.
