Will's team uses it to manage paid advertising.Confidence Level PromptingA technique for improving LLM reliability: after receiving an answer or solution, ask the model to rate its confidence level in what it just provided. A low rating (e.g., 'I'm about 70% confident') typically triggers the model to reconsider, surface suppressed uncertainty, and work toward a more validated answer before you act on it. Useful for code solutions, factual claims, and strategic recommendations.
