Pipeline Scoring & Ranking

Current Understanding

LLM assigns a final_score (0-100) and confidence (1-10) to each candidate. Score and confidence are correlated but not identical — a speculative setup can score 80 with confidence 6. The ranker uses final_score as primary sort key. No evidence yet on whether confidence or score is a better predictor of outcomes.

Pending Hypotheses

• Is confidence a better outcome predictor than final_score?
• Does score threshold (e.g. only surface candidates >70) improve hit rate?
