Description

Preserve the verbal anchors of a confidence scale.

Evidence records distinguish claims, source origins, confidence labels, logical scope and access status. Repeated citations may share an origin rather than provide independent support; an unknown origin is not proof of independence. A recorded support or witness link does not establish entailment, truth or a valid inference.

Preserve the verbal anchors of a confidence scale.

When to use this tool

Use Confidence Scale Verbal Anchor Pair when checking the stated evidence, source, confidence or logical-label convention.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter scaleId, lowerAnchor, upperAnchor. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read token. Use the output convention below.

Require nonempty scale ID and lower/upper anchor wording. Encode the ordered triple as JSON text.1

  "input": {

    "upperAnchor": "certain"

  "output": {

  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

  • Anchor ordering, numerical probability mapping and calibrated confidence are not inferred or validated.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Inspect original evidence and use appropriate complete logical/statistical analysis, preserving uncertainty, provenance and applicable access/reuse permissions.
