Mailability Score

Output port that contains a single digit that summarizes the deliverability of the output address.

The Address Validator transformation considers multiple factors when it calculates the mailability score. The transformation bases the calculations principally on the Match Code value and the Element Result Status value for the address. Other factors that influence the mailability score include the postal relevance of the address values and the granularity of the reference data for the country.

The Mailability Score port value provides an estimate of the deliverability of the address. The score is not a precise or definitive indicator of the deliverability of the address.

Mailability Score Usage

Select Mailability Score to return a code value that summarizes the deliverability of the output address. Use the code as a general indicator of the deliverability of the address.

The return codes are in a range from 0 through 5. A return code of 0 represents an undeliverable address, and 5 represents an address that is certain of delivery.

Mailability Score Output Codes

The following table describes the Mailability Score output codes:

Value	Summary	Description
5	Completely Confident	Indicates that address validation checked and verified all relevant elements of the input address.
4	Almost Certain	Indicates either of the following scenarios: One or more relevant address elements cannot be checked due to absent reference data. Other address elements are verified. Address validation corrected one or more relevant elements with a very high degree of confidence. This occurs when address validation finds a single match between the input address and the reference data and the degree of variation is very low.
3	Should Be Fine	Indicates that address validation corrected one or more relevant elements in the input address. Address validation found a single match between the input address and the reference data, and the degree of variation is acceptable.
2	Fair Chance	Indicates that address validation cannot correct or verify the address for one of the following reasons: Address validation cannot identify a candidate match in the reference data with sufficient confidence. Address validation found multiple candidate matches with similar confidence levels. The mail carrier might be able to deliver to the address.
1	Risky	Indicates that address validation can find partial reference data matches only for the input address.
0	Undeliverable	Indicates that address validation cannot find a match for the address in the reference data. The input address is missing too many elements, or address validation cannot verify a majority of the elements in the address.
