Confidence-convention mismatch

A ~67%-confidence radius and a CEP50 radius differ enough that pooling them unconverted yields containment estimates wrong by a factor of two or more.

01

Detection

Mixed sources with no declared convention; empirical containment far from the nominal rate.

02

Mitigation

01
Require the convention as mandatory metadata
02
Normalize all radii to one confidence level before pooling
03
Prefer vendors that publish a containment calibration
