Certainty gate

The final stage that decides whether an answer ships, goes back as a question, or escalates to a human.

TaxOrch term

It applies a per-country calibrated confidence bar. Below it the answer does not ship — but the outcome is a specific question or an escalation with a stated reason, never an empty response and never a refusal without one.

Where this is explained in depth

Exact or abstain
The rule that TaxOrch gives an exact, cited figure or refuses — never an approximation presented as an answer.
Verification status
The field on an answer contract that says what happened, across eight values, and the one to read before relying on an answer.
Human in the loop
The rule that every high-impact action requires a person to approve it, with no setting that removes the requirement.
