Human Review, Trends, and Confidence Explanations
Reading the trends, and what confidence means here.
Purpose
This guide explains how to use the primary reasoning quality features: human-reviewed extraction, longitudinal comparison, trend summaries, confidence explanations, and source spans.
Human review of extraction
- Open
/dashboard. - Select or create a student.
- Open the student profile and choose the
Observationtab, or use the dashboard reasoning composer. - Run extraction without finalising if the workflow offers a review step.
- Inspect each behaviour:
- Label: short description of the behaviour signal.
- Category: professional category mapped by the ontology/provider.
- Domain: SEND domain such as communication, sensory processing, or emotional regulation.
- Evidence: the observation phrase that supports the signal.
- Weight: relative strength of the signal.
- Edit, remove, or clarify behaviours before report finalisation.
- Finalise and save the report.
Reviewer comparison reports
After finalisation, senco stores the initial extraction and the human-reviewed version.
- Open the student's report history.
- Look for reviewer comparison information on the report card.
- Use
/api/reasoning/comparison-exportfrom settings/export controls when preparing calibration discussions. - Review added, removed, changed, and unchanged signals.
Observation trends over time
Longitudinal charts appear once a student has multiple saved observations.
- Open
/dashboard/students/[id]. - Add at least two observations over time.
- Open
Reports and trends. - Review domain score changes between earliest and latest observations.
- Use the trend summary to identify areas that may warrant school SEND pathway review.
- If there are many observations, scroll horizontally inside each domain chart; the chart is contained within the card so it does not spill across the page.
Report history grid
Reports and trends uses a report table rather than a long list of full reports.
- Use search to find text from the observation, extracted behaviours, domains, potential needs, or explanation.
- Use the risk-level filter to narrow the grid to
Monitor,SENCO review, orUrgent safeguardingreports. - Sort by newest, oldest, risk level, or behaviour count.
- Use pagination controls when the student has many reports.
- Click
Opento view the full report in a dialog. - Submit calibration feedback from inside the report detail dialog when the report needs SENCO/clinician feedback.
Confidence explanations
Each domain score can include:
- The behaviour signals contributing to the score.
- A short professional explanation.
- Source spans where available.
- The original observation text phrase that supported the signal.
How to use the output safely
Use trends and confidence explanations to support professional conversations, provision planning, and referral preparation. Do not treat confidence scores as diagnostic probability.
