Understanding Confidence Scores

Updated February 14, 2026

What confidence percentages mean and when to trust them.

Understanding Confidence Scores

Each AI suggestion includes a confidence score (0–100%) that indicates how certain the model is about the recommendation.

What Confidence Means

Confidence is derived from:

  • Data volume – listings with more views and sales history get higher-confidence suggestions.
  • Market signal strength – categories with many similar listings provide stronger benchmarks.
  • Model certainty – the underlying language model's internal token probability for the generated suggestion.
  • Confidence Tiers

    ConfidenceMeaning
    80–100%High – the suggestion is strongly supported by data. Apply it.
    60–79%Medium – the suggestion is likely beneficial. Review before applying.
    Below 60%Low – limited data. Use your own judgement.

    When Confidence is Low

    Low confidence is not a signal that the suggestion is wrong — just that we have less evidence. New listings (fewer than 50 views) will often have low-confidence scores. As your listing accumulates performance data, re-running the AI analysis will produce higher-confidence results.

    Feedback Loop

    Use the thumbs up / thumbs down on each suggestion to help train the model. Your feedback is stored locally and used to bias future suggestions for your shop.
