answer confidence error autofill used low confidence answer without review failure

TL;DR

Fix this in questionnaire autofill by acting on the exact message first: set the autofill confidence threshold so fills below it go to a human review queue instead of the questionnaire, and re-review every answer filled below the threshold in the affected questionnaire. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Use this when

• The operation in questionnaire autofill fails with this exact message: answer confidence error autofill used low confidence answer without review.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A review, export or check is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in questionnaire autofill, and copy the full message plus the questionnaire, answer or evidence item involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: set the autofill confidence threshold so fills below it go to a human review queue instead of the questionnaire, and re-review every answer filled below the threshold in the affected questionnaire. Verify: no answer in the affected questionnaire remains in an unreviewed below-threshold state.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same config, template, feed or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result counts, decisions or alerts against the source in questionnaire autofill so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in questionnaire autofill on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

the threshold was left at zero or switched off, so autofill treated its weakest matches as safe to send without a reviewer.
