Quality is a combination of signals

A place can be geographically precise and still be difficult to use. Alkax address quality considers the point, the human context, and the evidence around the record.

Quality dimensions

Dimension	Strong signal
Precision	The point marks the practical arrival location
Recognisability	The title and description make sense to a first-time visitor
Completeness	Locality, category, and building context are present where useful
Freshness	Descriptions and photos still match the destination
Uniqueness	The record is not an unnecessary duplicate
Trust	Relevant verification, claim, and moderation signals support the record
Safety	Public fields do not expose secrets or inappropriate personal data

Verification is not ownership

Community verification can show that people recognise the record as accurate. A claim can show that an account has been approved as responsible for the place. Neither signal is a land title, legal address designation, or unconditional guarantee.

Improve a weak place

1. Correct the arrival point.
2. Replace vague or temporary directions with stable landmarks.
3. Add missing locality or building context.
4. Remove outdated or unsafe information.
5. Resolve duplicates.
6. Add an appropriate current photograph.
7. Seek genuine verification from people who know the place.
