Slot: Propagated Geocoding Score (geocoding_score_propagated)

Geocoder score (0-1) propagated from the upstream geocoder so the exposure record knows the spatial precision of its anchor.

Tier: recommended

Why this slot matters

The score quantifies how confident the geocoder was in its address match; without it downstream analysts cannot apply quality cutoffs, and poorly matched addresses contaminate the exposure assignment invisibly.

In plain terms

When software converts an address into map coordinates it also rates its own confidence, from 0 to 1. This carries that rating along with the exposure record.
