How certain an organization is about a knowledge claim. Every claim must declare HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW confidence. HIGH means measured and reproducible. MEDIUM means observed multiple times. LOW means tried once or inferred.
Why it matters
Without confidence levels, every claim looks equally authoritative. With them, downstream agents can weight rules by how trustworthy they are.
