How to read a confidence grade

Confidence: highRead off primary law1: The trigger and the figure both come from the statute, regulation or convention itself, at the pinpoint cited. Quote it. The citation on the regime page is the text a counterparty has to answer.
Confidence: mediumDerived or secondary source8: The law is clear but a threshold or an amount is indexed, converted, or taken from an official regulator page rather than the instrument. The entitlement is sound; treat the exact figure as an opening number and check the current rate.
Confidence: lowUnverified — no amount stated10: We could not tie the entry to a source we trust: the regime is in flux, or the only accounts of it are law-firm summaries and press. We state that the regime exists and where to look, and we deliberately state no figure. A gap we admit to is worth more than a number nobody checked.

Run your facts against all of them at once.

You do not have to work out which of these applies. Answer once and the engine reconciles every regime that reaches you.
