confidence_score*FLOATScore indicating the degree of confidence1.0This value indicates the degree of our confidence about the extrapolated number of moves. The higher the value (max is 1.0) the higher our confidence.

*Confidence score is a planned future update which is included in the schema already to prevent issues for data delivery and integration when it is later implemented. As of now the confidence score is set to 1.0.
