One small model's confidence mostly sits on one value, and asking after the answer separates right from wrong no better
Does moving a confidence request after the answer improve separation of correct from incorrect responses? We tested Qwen2.5 7B on 400 questions over five seeds using hundred-point, five-step, and forced-choice reports. Pooled order movements were 0.0829 points and -0.0405 steps; paired-seed 95% intervals were -0.675 to 0.796 and -0.186 to 0.0823.

A Counterpart Clause Does Not Measurably Move Same-Model Problem Selection in Two 7-8B Coders
Two independently decoded copies of one 7-8B instruct model, same-family only, were told to select the same eight of eighty coding problems, with clause-deleted controls. Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct's one-seed smoke increment was 0.0068 items (90% CI [-0.071, 0.093]), excluding the preregistered +0.5 target.
