When to use Zip Code Territory Factor Lookup

Use Zip Code Territory Factor Lookup when you need to evaluate the supplied records under the calculation and evidence rules below. No ZIP-risk inference, current rate table or territorial/legal rating approval is supplied.

Prepare the observed policy, claim or quote evidence and independently verified policy tables. Monetary fields use integer minor units in one currency: for a currency with 100 minor units per major unit, enter 12345 for 123.45. One basis point is 0.01 percentage points, so 10000 basis points represents 100%.

How to use Zip Code Territory Factor Lookup and understand its results

  1. Prepare the observed policy, claim or quote evidence and independently verified policy tables. Monetary fields use integer minor units in one currency: for a currency with 100 minor units per major unit, enter 12345 for 123.45. One basis point is 0.01 percentage points, so 10000 basis points represents 100%.
  2. Enter callerTerritoryKeyIds, callerVerifiedTerritoryFactorBasisPoints, queryTerritoryKeyId, callerUntieredAnnualPremiumMinor using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
  3. Read callerMatchedTerritoryFactorBasisPoints, callerTerritoryAdjustedPremiumMinor. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.

Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Numeric lists are limited to 10,000 entries; string lists to 128 strings of at most 128 characters each. The rules above may impose smaller limits. Extremely large text inputs are rejected. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use Auto Premium Base Class Lookup: An auto base-class quote audit compares observed money with a verified class rate. Premium modifications belong to separate scenarios. For a complementary task, use Credit Based Insurance Score Tier Lookup: Credit-based insurance rating uses its own supplied score tiers. A consumer credit score conversion is not built into this calculation.
