Confidence Scoring

Field-level confidence provides a 0–100% confidence score for each enrichment field individually, replacing the single lead-level score. The response indicates which fields are reliable and which require verification. Each score reflects how much assumption is required to connect the field value back to the target person. A high score means the evidence chain is strong; a low score means there’s meaningful uncertainty about attribution.

This feature is in early access. Contact Sixtyfour Support to gain access.

How to enable

Pass field_confidence: true in your /people-intelligence request body:

{
  "lead_info": {"full_name": "Jane Smith", "company": "Acme Corp"},
  "struct": {
    "email": "Email address",
    "title": "Current job title",
    "linkedin": "LinkedIn profile URL"
  },
  "tier": "high",
  "field_confidence": true
}

Response format

When enabled, the response includes a field_confidence object that mirrors the shape of your struct. Each answered field gets its confidence (0–100), a short justification, and the URLs of the pages the value was read on. A field that was not scored is null.

{
  "notes": "Research complete. Found Jane Smith on LinkedIn and Acme Corp website.",
  "structured_data": {
    "email": "jsmith@acmecorp.com",
    "title": "VP of Engineering",

  },
  "findings": [],

  },
  "field_confidence": {
    "email": {

      "justification": "Listed on the Acme Corp team page beside her title.",
      "sources": ["https://acmecorp.com/team"]
    },

Response fields

Field	Type	Description
`field_confidence`	object	Confidence mirroring the struct shape. Only present when `field_confidence: true` is passed and the org has access.
`field_confidence.{field}`	object or null	The field’s confidence entry, described below. `null` means the field was not scored, usually because it has no value.
`field_confidence.{field}.confidence`	integer (0–100) or null	How sure we are the value is right and belongs to this person. `null` when the value rests only on the input you sent.
`field_confidence.{field}.justification`	string	Why the value holds, in a sentence or two.
`field_confidence.{field}.sources`	array of URLs	The pages the value was read on. Empty when it came from a source with no public page.
`field_confidence.{field}.nodes`	array of strings	xHigh only: the ids of the findings in the investigation’s graph that the value rests on.
`field_confidence.{object_field}`	object	Same keys as the struct object; each subfield gets its own entry.
`field_confidence.{object_list_field}`	array	One object per item in `structured_data`; each subfield gets its own entry.
`field_confidence.{list_field}`	object	A list of plain values (`list[str]`) gets one entry for the whole list.

When field_confidence is present in the response, confidence_score is not included. The two fields are mutually exclusive and use different scales: field_confidence scores are 0–100 per field, while confidence_score is 0–10 at the lead level.

When field_confidence is off

The response includes a single confidence_score (0–10) at the lead level:

{
  "structured_data": {...},
  "confidence_score": 8
}

Nested fields (objects and object_lists)

For nested structs, field_confidence mirrors the exact shape of structured_data:

{
  "struct": {
    "email": "Email address",
    "company": {
      "name": "Company name",
      "size": "Company size"
    },
    "jobs": [
      {"title": "Job title", "company": "Company name", "start_date": "Start date"}
    ]
  }
}

Response:

{
  "structured_data": {
    "email": "jsmith@acmecorp.com",
    "company": {"name": "Acme Corp", "size": "500"},
    "jobs": [
      {"title": "VP of Engineering", "company": "Acme Corp", "start_date": "2020"},
      {"title": "Senior Engineer", "company": "Google", "start_date": "2015"}
    ]
  },
  "field_confidence": {
    "email": {"confidence": 88, "justification": "Listed on the team page.", "sources": ["https://acmecorp.com/team"]},
    "company": {
      "name": {"confidence": 96, "justification": "Named on her LinkedIn profile.", "sources": ["https://www.linkedin.com/in/janesmith-acme/"]},
      "size": {"confidence": 45, "justification": "A data aggregator's range, not confirmed elsewhere.", "sources": []}
    },
    "jobs": [
      {
        "title": {"confidence": 95, "justification": "LinkedIn experience section.", "sources": ["https://www.linkedin.com/in/janesmith-acme/"]},
        "company": {"confidence": 95, "justification": "LinkedIn experience section.", "sources": ["https://www.linkedin.com/in/janesmith-acme/"]},
        "start_date": {"confidence": 60, "justification": "Year inferred from a 2020 announcement.", "sources": ["https://acmecorp.com/news/2020"]}
      },
      {
        "title": {"confidence": 72, "justification": "An older conference bio.", "sources": ["https://example-conf.com/speakers"]},
        "company": {"confidence": 72, "justification": "An older conference bio.", "sources": ["https://example-conf.com/speakers"]},
        "start_date": null
      }
    ]
  }
}

The field_confidence structure always matches structured_data recursively. See Response fields for the per-type contract.

Workflow mode

In workflows, field confidence is returned as a single enrichment_field_confidence column containing a JSON string. The column parses as standard JSON while keeping the CSV flat:

name	email	enrichment_field_confidence
Jane Smith	jsmith@acme.com	`{"email": {"confidence": 88, "justification": "...", "sources": ["..."]}, ...}`

For nested structs, the JSON column contains the same nested structure as the API response above. To use confidence in downstream workflow blocks, parse the JSON column and filter on the fields you care about, for example on each entry’s confidence.

Confidence tiers

The 0–100 score maps to named confidence levels:

Range	Level	What it means
85–100%	Confirmed	Near-zero assumption. Unique identifiers, direct assertions from authoritative sources.
65–84%	Established	Minimal assumption. A careful person would rely on this. One small residual uncertainty.
40–64%	Supported	Moderate assumption. The identity or value link is reasonable but not tight.
15–39%	Speculative	Significant assumption. Weak identifiers, multiple possible matches. Treat as hypothesis.
0–14%	Unreliable	Major assumption or conflicting evidence. Do not rely on.

Usage tips

Parse in code: the enrichment_field_confidence column (workflow) and field_confidence field (API) are both standard JSON. Use JSON.parse() or json.loads(), then read each entry’s confidence, justification and sources.
Threshold by use case: cold email outreach typically accepts 65%+. Legal and compliance work should require 85%+.
The weakest link dominates: if the target has a very common name, even well-sourced fields score lower because the identity link is uncertain.
Null means not scored: a null entry means the field has no value, or no evidence could be tied to it. The key is always present in field_confidence (the shape mirrors structured_data exactly).
Check a value against its sources: sources lists the pages the value was read on, and on xHigh nodes names the findings behind it in the investigation’s graph.
