Description
Compare bounded score with bounded threshold using greater-than-or-equal when inclusive and strictly greater otherwise.
A similarity term depends on the comparison universe, missing-value policy, treatment of repeated features, and normalization. A score can also have a caller-selected value when its mathematical denominator vanishes. Those conventions matter before interpreting a threshold or comparing methods.
Compare bounded score with bounded threshold using greater-than-or-equal when inclusive and strictly greater otherwise.
When to use this tool
Use Similarity Threshold Equal Score Label when you need this particular comparison term, normalization, domain condition, or empty-result policy in a larger matching workflow.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter score, threshold, inclusive. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read accepted, boundary. Inspect accepted, boundary before interpreting the associated values.
Compare bounded score with bounded threshold using greater-than-or-equal when inclusive and strictly greater otherwise. Separately return boundary for exact equality.1

| inclusive | Inclusive | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

}Limitations and assumptions
- An exact boundary can be accepted or rejected by policy. The tool does not calculate the score, calibrate a threshold, or infer real-world match quality.
- The field tables state structural bounds; the mechanics also specify cross-field constraints. Malformed inputs and unsupported domains cause errors. A successful false flag, empty branch value, or zero placeholder has the meaning stated above and is distinct from an input error.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Compare methods only after aligning feature definitions, missingness, empty policies, multiplicities, and normalizers. Use a complete comparison when the tool returns only one contribution or count check.
