High-confidence routing errors can bypass the human: Which remaining risk should be addressed before
Confidence does not guarantee correctness; high-confidence routing errors can evade the designed human fallback.
The question
A medical-administration system only routes records and provides no clinical advice. Designers require human review for low-confidence routing, but high-confidence cases proceed automatically. Which remaining risk should be addressed before deployment?

- High-confidence routing errors can bypass the human fallback. ✓A confidence threshold can misclassify records confidently, allowing harmful administrative routing errors to escape review and correction.
- Human reviewers may prefer manually routing every record.Reviewer preference may affect adoption, but it does not identify the system-design gap created by automatic high-confidence routing.
- The system should provide clinical explanations for every routing result.Clinical explanations exceed the system’s administrative purpose; the requirement is competent intervention authority, not clinical advice generation.
- The system may require additional clinical training.Clinical training is outside the stated administrative scope; the unresolved issue concerns whether routing errors can reach records without meaningful intervention.
The trap
Check whether the fallback can intervene in the actual failure modes, not merely in cases the model labels uncertain. How to remember it
Confidence does not guarantee correctness; high-confidence routing errors can evade the designed human fallback.
