We communicate model certainty as four bars in a Unicode box-drawn frame — measured user comprehension at 4.3/5.

The Four-Bar Visualization: Communicating Model Certainty in Terminal UI

---

The Problem

Users need compact, terminal-native visualization of response quality at a glance. Statistically averaged scores alone are less informative than proportional bar lengths.

What We Built

A four-bar+composite visualization appended to every response: Accuracy, Confidence, Contradiction, Humanity. Each bar is a proportional Unicode block fill with percentage label, in a box-drawn frame.

The Research

Bars use U+2588 (full block) for filled and U+2591 (light shade) for unfilled. Frame uses U+2500-U+257F box-drawing characters. Width adapts to terminal width with minimum 10-block bars.

Results

Feature	User rating (1-5)
Clarity	4.3
Visual appeal	4.1
Information density	4.5

In user testing (N=12), the four-bar visualization was rated highly for clarity and information density. The composite bar was identified as the most useful single element.

Conclusion

The four-bar visualization effectively communicates multi-dimensional response quality in a compact terminal-native format.
