As per my undestanding it is prediction percentage based on your proposed model, the true percentage is depends on ground truth data (gold data) recomended/verified by respective data experts.
In one terms, you can look for sensitivity (true positive rate) and specificity (true negative rate) or accuracy or PPV etc.
For detail, please look at Tom paper.
