The estimator predicts: Which classification distinguishes their outputs?
The probability is predictive, while the drafted prose is generated content.
The question
A public-benefit agency uses one system to estimate each applicant’s eligibility probability from records and another to draft individualized explanations in prose. A caseworker reviews both outputs. Which classification distinguishes their outputs?

- Both are decisions because the caseworker relies on them.Neither output is itself the caseworker’s final decision; one predicts an outcome and the other generates explanatory text.
- The estimator predicts; the prose tool generates content. ✓A probability estimates an outcome, while newly composed individualized prose is generated content, regardless of caseworker review.
- The estimator generates content; the prose tool predicts eligibility.The functions are reversed: the estimator produces a probability and the other system produces prose.
- Both are predictive outputs because both support casework.The eligibility estimate is predictive, but the prose system produces newly composed content rather than an estimated eligibility outcome.
The trap
Classify the output itself, rather than the system’s input source or place in the workflow. How to remember it
The probability is predictive, while the drafted prose is generated content.
