Data normalization

Use a shared vocabulary for carriers, products, jurisdictions, dates, statuses, filing types, and rate fields while retaining the original record.

CURRENT SURFACE

Connected today

Search filters and result fields use current metadata and filing producers. The published definitions route binds to the product-inward dictionary when current.

Boundary Not inferred from the design

Normalization is not source truth. Ambiguous resolution, absent fields, and not-observed values are not silently converted into a confident match or zero.

honest cutline: current producer or explicit unavailable

How evidence moves

Source facts can be normalized or calculated, model output remains labeled, inference stays distinct, and a person’s conclusion remains attributable to that person.

SOURCE FACT

Observed public record.

Normalized field

Mapped with its source retained.

Calculated metric

Derived on a named basis.

MODEL CLASS

Classification, not observation.

INFERENCE

Hypothesis, not filing intent.

User conclusion

Human-authored judgment.
