Entity Matching
This is the CSV file format for for a matching test. Please contact your account representative to support a one-time pre-contract matching test. All content must use Latin characters and all content must be wrapped in quotation marks as shown below when viewed as a text file. Files not meeting these formats can not be processed.
"Client Internal ID" is an optional but highly recommended field you may provide to allow better traceability back to your internal systems. If you choose to use the field, each value must be unique and not identify more than one entity.
Another optional field is any initial disposition you may have assigned to the business entity. Markaaz often matches businesses that competitors cannot. It's helpful to have those insights included in the matching results. For example, you may have dispositions such as, "Approved", "Declined", "Funded", or "Not Funded". The actual values in this field are based on your list of possible dispositions.
