When the Zip 11 confidence score is below the threshold, what happens to the address?

• A. It is automatically corrected by the system
• B. It is sent to the AMS application for manual validation (resolve or address correction)
• C. It is not processed further
• D. It is archived

Answer: (D)

Low Zip 11 confidence means the system can’t rely on the address enough to move it through the normal processing flow. Because the reliability is too uncertain, the address isn’t auto-corrected, isn’t sent to manual validation, and isn’t processed further. Instead, it is archived. Archiving preserves the record in a dormant state, maintaining a complete audit trail and allowing for future review or reprocessing if greater confidence becomes available. This approach protects data integrity by not altering or advancing uncertain addresses, while still keeping the information available for compliance checks or later investigation.
