Provide conservative commit dates for regulated or time-critical shipments
Useconfidence_level: "HIGH" to get delivery dates that are more reliable — not just most likely.
For regulated shipments (pharmaceuticals, medical devices, age-restricted goods) and time-critical orders (event tickets, perishables, SLA-bound fulfillment), committing to a delivery date that is missed has real consequences. Passing confidence_level: "HIGH" returns a more conservative predicted date — one where historically only 5% of shipments have arrived later — so you only surface dates you can reliably stand behind.
How confidence levels work
Eachconfidence_level corresponds to a percentile of historical delivery performance on the origin-to-destination lane.

Response
Theconfidence_level field in the response echoes back the level used. At GA, HIGH will return later, more conservative dates than DEFAULT for the same service level on the same lane.
