Report #100200

[research] How do I detect when a structured LLM output is wrong despite valid JSON?

Add per-field confidence/trustworthiness scoring or a second-pass validator, and validate leaf values against source text or business rules. Do not assume schema-valid outputs are factually correct.

Journey Context:
Structured outputs solve syntax and schema compliance but not hallucinations at the value level. Independent benchmarks show JSON pass rates near 99% while value accuracy can be 15–30 points lower. The most dangerous failures are plausible-looking, type-correct values. Per-field trust scores and source-grounded checks catch these before they reach downstream systems.
