Interpreting Findings
What “Confirmed” Means
When SkoutLab marks a finding as Confirmed, it means:- The pattern exists in your data (not random chance)
- Statistical tests passed significance thresholds
- The finding is reproducible
SkoutLab uses a significance level of 0.05 by default — meaning there’s less than 5% probability the finding is due to chance.
