Congruence analyses two data field values to examine if they are aligned.
Country
Check if a country aligns with an email address, telephone number or a URL. E.g.
Country to Email
Input a country with an email and identify whether they align.
| Country | Code | Details | |
|---|---|---|---|
| example@microsoft.co.uk | GB | 1 | TRUE |
| example@microsoft.us | GB | 0 | FALSE |
| example@microsoft.org | GB | 2 | Unknown |
Country to Phone
Input a country with a telephone number and identify whether they align. E.g.
| Country | Code | Details | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 44751 1111 111 | GB | 1 | TRUE |
| 11111 1111 111 | GB | 0 | FALSE |
| 47511 1111 111 | GB | 0 | FALSE |
Country to URL
Input a country with a URL and identify whether they align. E.g.
| URL | Country | Code | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| google.co.uk | GB | 1 | TRUE |
| google.com | GB | 2 | Unknown |
| google.co.uk | US | 0 | FALSE |
Input a given name and family name to identify whether both or either match up with a given email. E.g.
Input
| Given Name | Family Name | |
|---|---|---|
| john.smith@example.com | John | Smith |
| jane.smith@example.com | John | Smith |
| john.shmidt@example.com | John | Smith |
