[Improved] A table’s parse confidence is the mean of its cells A table block’sparse_confidence is now the mean of the confidence of its cells that carry text: the expected fraction of those cells read correctly. Blank cells keep their own score but do not enter the mean. Before, it was the probability that the whole table was transcribed without a single error, a number that fell with the size of the table regardless of how well it was read. The rule applies on the Standard, Agentic and Fast tiers. Cell-level confidences and non-table blocks are unchanged, and results already stored keep the number they were stored with.
Table values rise, typically by tens of points. If you gate or route tables on blocks[].parse_confidence, revisit the threshold. A table none of whose cells carry text reports null.
