1. A method carried out by a computing system comprising a processor and non-transitory data storage containing instructions executable by the processor for carrying out the method, the method comprising: presenting via a user interface display, a plurality of data-input fields in a computer-based form having an associated default order for user entry of respective values in the respective data-input fields, wherein arrangement of the data-input fields of the computer-based form suggest the associated default order in which the respective values should be entered responded to; receiving respective user entered values via the user interface in the respective data-input fields; storing a respective current counter value of an incrementing counter in association with receiving each respective user entered value; establishing a respective user-confidence level for each of one or more of the respective user entered values, wherein each established user-confidence level is set based at least in part on a comparison of the associated default order with a set of one or more of the stored counter values, wherein the stored counter values indicate a departure from the default order; and outputting, to the user interface display, the established user-confidence levels, and wherein departure from the associated default order results in displaying higher and lower user-confidence levels of the user entered values as compared to the user-confidence levels associated with the default order, wherein departure from the associated default order further establishes greater user-confidence levels for data-input fields which are entered as compared to data-input fields which are skipped, without requiring user entry of a confidence level.
