● Confidence labels

Every result labeled matched, ambiguous, or needs confirmation.

Instead of one accuracy percentage covering an entire plan set, ReadMyBlueprint labels every individual measurement with exactly how it was produced — so you know precisely where your two minutes of double-checking should go.

Three identical wall cross-sections labeled matched, ambiguous, and needs confirmation with check, question, and warning icons
The three labels

What each one actually means.

Matched

The wall's measured thickness lines up with a spec found directly on your own drawings — a wall-type legend, a callout, a schedule. The number is ready to use as-is.

Ambiguous

More than one material or assembly could explain this wall's measured thickness. ReadMyBlueprint tells you exactly which candidates are possible, instead of silently picking one for you.

Needs confirmation

No matching spec was found anywhere in the document for this wall. The length and location are still exact — the material assignment just needs a quick human check.

How it shows up

Labels travel with the result, everywhere.

A label isn't a one-time note buried in a report — it's attached to the row in your results dashboard and carried straight through to your CSV or Excel export.

Why this instead of a percentage

An average can't tell you which row to check.

Most takeoff tools put a single accuracy percentage on their homepage — 95%, 98%. That number is an average over some internal test set, and averages hide exactly the thing you need to know: which specific result in front of you right now is solid, and which one needs a second look.

A label on every row is a different kind of claim — one you can check yourself, on your own plan set, instead of one you have to take on faith. We don't publish a blended accuracy percentage either, for the same reason: there's no independent benchmark every takeoff tool runs, so those numbers aren't even comparable between vendors. What we can show you is exactly how each of your own numbers was produced.

FAQ

Common questions about labels.

Can I override a label?
Yes. Every flagged result is editable — confirm the material yourself and it's recorded as your own confirmation, not silently reclassified as "matched."
Does "matched" guarantee the number is correct?
It means the measurement traces to real geometry and a real spec found in your document — the same standard a careful human estimator would use. It's not a guarantee against an error in the original drawing itself.
What's the practical difference between "ambiguous" and "needs confirmation"?
Ambiguous means ReadMyBlueprint found multiple possible specs and can't pick between them. Needs confirmation means it found none at all. Both need a human decision — the label tells you why.
Do labels show up in my exported CSV or Excel file?
Yes — every export includes the label column, so anyone reviewing the file downstream sees exactly what was verified and what wasn't.
What happens to a "needs confirmation" row if I never confirm it?
It stays flagged in your export. ReadMyBlueprint never quietly converts an unconfirmed result into a confident-looking number.
