AI Refine is the pre-processing step that improves matching accuracy by cleaning descriptions and attaching invisible matching metadata to every item in a table. Running Refine before matching is strongly recommended — it is the single biggest lever for improving match quality.
The Matcher Scoring Profile is a project-wide configuration that controls exactly how Conio scores the similarity between a BOQ item and a rate table item. Every change you make here applies to both Match All and the live candidate previews — what you tune is what runs.
Semantic Search is a diagnostic tool built into Scenario Studio's Selected BOQ Item panel. It lets you type free text — keywords, a rephrased description, or both — and watch the candidate list update live, without saving anything to the database. Use it to understand why an item matches poorly, to hunt for a rate item the normal scoring missed, or to test a scoring flag on one item before turning it on for the whole project.
