Research note ยท October 14, 2026
A confidence number about our assistant came from a template, not from the assistant.
93 forecast rows from one template, all at 60%
Didn't work
What we did
Our system reported that the assistant was under-confident: right far more often than its stated confidence. We traced every row behind that claim.
What we found
All 93 rows came from one template line with a fixed 60%. The assistant never stated them. Its own forecasts since October 2: 10 right out of 18, at 68% stated on average.
What it means
Eighteen forecasts is too few to say whether it runs over- or under-confident. We struck the old number and say "we don't know yet".
