# AngelAI confidence levels

> What AngelAI's confidence levels mean and how to interpret them when reading responses.

## Why confidence levels exist

AngelAI draws its answers from the AngelHub knowledge base — 33 documents covering every aspect of angel investment. Not every question has a direct answer in the knowledge base. Confidence levels tell you how well the knowledge base covers the question you asked, so you know how much weight to give the response.

## The four confidence levels

### High

The knowledge base directly addresses your question. The response is grounded in specific documents written for this purpose.

**What to do:** Use the response as a substantive starting point. Check the source badges to see which documents were used. You can follow up with more specific questions to go deeper.

**Example questions that typically return high confidence:**

* "What is the standard vesting structure for founder shares?"
* "How does weighted average anti-dilution work?"
* "What are the EIS eligibility requirements for a SaaS company?"
* "What stress tests should I apply to a financial model?"

***

### Medium

The knowledge base partially addresses the question. AngelAI has drawn on relevant content but has also applied general reasoning to fill gaps.

**What to do:** Use the response as a guide but recognise that parts of it may be less grounded than others. The source badges will show which parts are knowledge-base-backed. Consider following up with a more specific question that the knowledge base is more likely to cover directly.

**Example questions that typically return medium confidence:**

* Sector-specific questions in niche industries not fully covered in the sector reference
* Questions that combine multiple topics (e.g. "How does EIS interact with an ASA conversion for a university spinout?")
* Questions about very recent legal or regulatory changes

***

### Low

The knowledge base has limited coverage of this question. AngelAI is reasoning primarily from general knowledge rather than the specific documents.

**What to do:** Treat the response as a direction to explore rather than a reliable answer. Verify the key points independently. If the question has significant financial or legal implications, speak to a qualified adviser.

**Example questions that typically return low confidence:**

* Questions outside the scope of UK angel investment (e.g. US-specific legal structures)
* Highly specific technical questions about niche sectors
* Questions about very recent events or regulatory changes

***

### Not in knowledge base

The question is not covered by the knowledge base at all. AngelAI will tell you this explicitly rather than attempting an answer.

**What to do:** This is the system being honest rather than guessing. Use it as a signal to seek information elsewhere — a solicitor, an accountant, or an industry specialist.

If you see this frequently on a particular topic, it may indicate a gap in the AngelHub knowledge base. The platform logs these responses so the knowledge base can be improved over time.

## The source badges

Every AngelAI response shows source badges — the specific knowledge base documents the response drew on. For example:

`vg1` — Valuation Methodology Guide\
`wp10` — Sector Reference\
`rf1` — Red Flags and Cognitive Bias Guide\
`lg1` — Legal Documents Guide\
`wntbb1` — What Needs to Be Believed Framework

Click any badge to read the source document in full. This is the best way to go deeper on a topic AngelAI has touched on.

## A note on legal and financial questions

Even a high-confidence response on a legal or financial question is not professional advice. AngelAI explains the framework — what the law says, how a structure typically works, what questions to ask a solicitor. It does not advise on your specific situation.

For questions with material financial or legal implications, always verify with a qualified professional.
