Consistency Sweep ​

Last updated: Apr 16, 2026

Consistency Sweep is a finishing step that tightens glossary coherence across a thread — unifying variants, resolving disagreements, and aligning entries to your Term Conventions. It works as a natural finisher after a bulk extraction and on any existing glossary you already have, so older threads can benefit without re-extracting.

Use when: you just ran a Batch Analyze, or an existing glossary feels inconsistent and you want it tightened up.

IMPORTANT

Credits Only: This feature consumes credits. It cannot use your daily or weekly subscription quota.

Starting a Sweep ​

Consistency Sweep setup

When you launch a Consistency Sweep you'll be asked to configure a few settings before starting:

  • Batch Name: A label for this job so you can identify it later.
  • Auto-apply Changes: Automatically update the glossary with resolved translations once the sweep finishes. You can also review and apply changes manually after the job completes.
  • Lock User Terms: Prevent user-created glossary entries from being changed by the pipeline. Enable this to protect terms you've already curated.

After reviewing the estimated cost, click Start Pipeline to begin.

WARNING

Applying changes will overwrite your existing glossary entries.

Running ​

Consistency Sweep running

The sweep runs a multi-pass pipeline, with each pass pushing the score closer to 100%. The goal is to fully converge, though the final score will vary depending on your glossary. Once the score stops improving the pipeline ends and the status shows Converged.

Results ​

Consistency Sweep changed terms

Once finished, a table shows every term that was changed:

ColumnDescription
TermThe source term from your glossary.
OriginalThe translation before the sweep.
NewThe resolved translation after the sweep.
ReasonThe rationale for the change. When no reason is shown, the change was driven purely by your Term Conventions.

Cost ​

  • Rate: Based on the number of glossary entries processed.
  • Estimation: The cost shown before starting is an estimate.
  • Automatic Adjustment: You are only charged for successfully processed entries.
