In addition to using words within a judgment to convey degrees of likelihood, the IC also ascribes<br />
“high,” “moderate,” or “low” confidence levels according to the scope and quality of in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mation and/or that the nature of the issue makes it possible to render a solid judgment.<br />
