Result Quality

The

Result Quality field

provides a general estimate of the likelihood that a mail carrier can deliver mail to an address. Use the result quality value with other status values, such as the

verification status code

, to evaluate the address quality and deliverability.

The following table describes the result quality values:

Value	Summary	Description
6	Completely confident	Indicates that the verification mapping verified all postally relevant elements.
5	Very confident	Indicates that the verification mapping cannot completely verify the address. For example, the verification mapping may be unable to verify secondary delivery information such as sub-building data. Or, the address might be a high-rise default address.
4	Secondary delivery point not verified	Indicates that the verification mapping can check the primary delivery identifier but cannot verify the secondary delivery information in the address record. If an input address contains a unique ZIP Code, corrects other input values and returns the address with a result quality value of 4.
3	Primary delivery identifier not verified	Indicates that the verification mapping cannot check the primary delivery identifiers such as house number and P.O. Box number. In countries where the house number information is not available, the primary delivery identifier might be a building name.
2	Delivery information not verified	Indicates that the verification mapping cannot find a match for the input street or delivery service information within the reference data. The address is verified to locality level.
1	Incomplete or contradictory address	Indicates that the verification mapping cannot find a match for the address in the reference data. This can occur when locality information is not available in the reference data or the address includes contradictory postal code data.
0	Not an address	Indicates that the input is not a deliverable address.

The verification mapping

is likely to return a lower score for a poor-quality address in

Verification only

mode than in

Verification with suggestions

mode.

Verification with suggestions

mode can apply a relatively higher tolerance when calculating the result quality score, as it returns multiple addresses from which you can select the correct address.
