Consensus Score: How Suprmind Measures Agreement and Confidence
Quick Answer: Suprmind does not reduce agreement to a single number. Three signals do the work, and each measures something different: the DCI turn score (0 to 100) shows how much the AIs diverged on a turn, the Decision Brief confidence level (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW) shows how much disagreement is still unresolved, and the agreement indicators on Scribe notes show which AIs backed each captured point. All three live in the right sidebar.
What You’ll Learn
- What “consensus” means in Suprmind and how it is measured
- How to read the DCI turn score and its colours
- What the Decision Brief confidence level means, and why LOW is not a failure
- What the agreement indicators on Scribe notes tell you
- Which signal to use for which question
What “consensus” means in Suprmind
When two or more AIs answer the same turn, Suprmind compares their answers against each other. It looks for three things:- Contradictions - one AI says something another AI disputes
- Corrections - one AI fixes a factual claim another AI made
- Unique insights - a point only one AI raised
The DCI turn score (0 to 100)
The DCI turn score is the number badge on each turn in the Adjudicator tab of the right sidebar. Each turn is listed as “Turn 14, 9 items” with a score beside it, and the top of the tab shows the running totals for the session: how many contradictions, corrections, and unique insights the DCI (Disagreement/Correction Index) has found so far. What the number means: how much the AIs genuinely diverged on that turn, and how much that divergence was worth. The score adds up every contradiction, correction, and unique insight found in the turn, weighted by how serious each one is. Corrections count the most, contradictions next, unique insights least. The total is capped at 100. The colours:
A high score is not a good answer, and a low score is not a bad one. A high score means the AIs caught each other on things. That is the turn where your own judgment is needed most. A low score means they landed in the same place, which is useful to know too.
The score only exists when two or more AIs answered the turn. A turn answered by one AI has nothing to compare and gets no score.
You will also see the same counts on the small DCI card that appears under an AI response in the chat, for example “2 contradictions, 1 correction, 3 insights”. Click it to open the details in the Adjudicator tab.
The Decision Brief confidence level (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)
The confidence level is the chip next to the words Decision Brief in the Adjudicator tab, after you click Generate Decision Brief. It is the closest thing Suprmind has to a single consensus score for a whole conversation. What it measures: how much unresolved disagreement is left after the Adjudicator has read the DCI ledger and the Scribe’s notes. It is a measure of deviation between the AIs, not a quality grade for the recommendation.
LOW is not a failure. It means the question is genuinely hard and the AIs did not converge. The brief tells you exactly where they split and what would settle each dispute, which is often the most valuable output of the whole conversation.
If the conversation has produced only one or two DCI items, the brief says so and leans toward next steps that would give you more signal rather than claiming a confidence it cannot justify.
What the brief contains:
- Recommended direction - one headline recommendation and the reasoning behind it
- Why this direction - the council consensus, the baseline points from the Scribe that support it, and the DCI items that shaped or changed it
- Unresolved disagreements - each open dispute with a decision rule for how you can settle it
- Uncontested risks - risks a single AI raised that nobody argued against
- Correction ledger - factual corrections made during the conversation, with severity and a suggested action
- Next action - one concrete, verb-first next step
The agreement indicators on Scribe notes
Each note the Scribe captures in the Scribe tab can carry a coloured edge and a short line underneath naming which AIs agreed and which dissented, for example “GPT and Claude agree, Grok dissents on timeline”.
Why some notes have no indicator: the Scribe only marks agreement on points where more than one AI expressed a view. A note captured from a turn answered by a single AI has nothing to compare. Notes that are not opinions, such as action items or context about your question, are never marked.
Turning the indicators on or off: go to Settings → Profile and use the Agreement indicators toggle. It is on by default. Turning it off hides the coloured edges and the agreement lines. It does not change what the Scribe captures.
These indicators are per note. They are handy while you read, but the DCI turn score and the Decision Brief are the measures built for making a decision.
Which signal should I use?
Tips
- Generate a Decision Brief once, ask follow-up questions on the unresolved disagreements it lists, then Regenerate. Watching the confidence move from MEDIUM to HIGH is a clear sign the open questions were real and are now settled.
- A run of purple turn scores in Debate mode is normal. Debate is designed to make the AIs clash. Look at the Correction Ledger in the brief to see which arguments actually survived.
- If every turn scores grey, ask a harder question or ask the AIs to challenge each other. Consensus that arrives too easily is worth testing.
- Use a red-edged Scribe note as a follow-up prompt: “You disagreed on the timeline. Which assumption drives the difference?”
