Why are confidence scores useful in extraction?
Why D is the answer
They route uncertain results to a person
Microsoft notes confidence scores support straight-through processing with less manual review.
In detail
- Confidence scores show which results are uncertain.
- Those can go to a person.
- Set the threshold from real results.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
Most fields extract cleanly, but a smudged total scores low. It goes to a person, and the rest flows through.
