Confidence scores change how you triage a statement

Most statement review still happens top to bottom: open the PDF, work through each transaction in order, flag anything that looks off. That works, but it treats every row as equally worth your attention — and most rows aren't.

A confidence score is a small thing that changes this. Instead of reading a statement in document order, an assessor can read it in risk order: the low-confidence extractions first, the ambiguous OCR first, the fields the model itself is least sure about first. Everything above a threshold gets a glance. Everything below it gets scrutiny.

This isn't about trusting the model more. It's about spending your judgment where it's actually needed, instead of spreading it evenly across a document that doesn't deserve even attention.

In practice, teams using confidence-ordered review report the same outcome from two different angles: assessors finish faster, and the fields that do get corrected are the ones that mattered. Neither of those happens by accident — they happen because the review process now matches the actual distribution of risk in the document.
