yea the only way I can see confidence being stored as a string would be if the key was meant for a GUI management interface that didn't hardcode possible values(think for private investors or untrained engineers for sugar/cosmetic reasons). In an actual system this would almost always be a number or boolean not a string.
Being said, its entierly possible that it's also using an LLM for processing the result, which would mean they could have something like "if its rated X or higher" do Y type deal, where the LLM would then process the string and then respond whether it is or not, but that would be so inefficient. I would hope that they wouldn't layer like that.
