ARS standardization QA
Five fields scored — delivery line · city · state · ZIP · FIPS. A row passes only if all five match Smarty.
Owner: ARS service / DE. Raw Markdown of this audit's findings, for the owning engineer's work list.
91 of 104 addresses pass on the five scored fields — 13 diverge.
Per-field agreement
| Field | Match | % | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery line | 91/104 | 87.5% | |
| City | 104/104 | 100.0% | |
| State | 104/104 | 100.0% | |
| ZIP | 104/104 | 100.0% | |
| FIPS | 104/104 | 100.0% |
Pass rate by ARS resolution source
ARS resolves each address via Athena → its own cache → Smarty. The first two are 8020 data; the Smarty path is passthrough. All should equal Smarty.
| Source | n | Pass | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| ARS own data — the real test | |||
| athena | 33 | 33/33 | ARS Athena resolution vs Smarty |
| cache | 5 | 5/5 | ARS delta-cache vs live Smarty |
| Smarty passthrough / no-match | |||
| smarty | 63 | 50/63 | ARS called Smarty (passthrough) |
| null | 3 | 3/3 | ARS no-match |
Caveats — passes that don't confirm deliverability
These rows score PASS on the five standardized fields, but Smarty (the ground truth) did not return a confirmed delivery point — so the green means ARS and Smarty agree on the standardized string, not that the address is confirmed deliverable. They are surfaced here instead of being absorbed silently into the pass count.
over-match 1 — ARS resolved a should-not-resolve address as match-mailable while Smarty did not confirm it: nonexistent. A real ARS over-reach (tracked, not a standardization fail).
weak DPV 8 — edge address forms (rural route, fractional, grid, territory, no-ZIP landmark) where Smarty's DPV is unconfirmed: zip_missing_empire, rural_route, dl_half, fips_sanjuan_pr, dl_grid_utah, dl_dir_suffix, dl_us_highway, dl_county_road. Standardization agrees; deliverability is not vouched for.
Re-run the full ARS↔Smarty battery against live Smarty and rebuild this page:
uv run python run.py sync
- POST the synthetic battery to ARS
/v1/resolve/sync - resolve the same addresses through Smarty (us-street, cached so repeats are free)
- score the 5 fields per address & rebuild this page
Add cases in ars_audit/cases/synthetic.py. Every number here is generated from sync_compare.json — nothing is hand-typed.

Click any row to expand the field-by-field ARS-vs-Smarty detail. A green cell = the two agree; ✗ = they differ on that field.
What counts
Each address is scored on exactly five fields. A row PASSES only if all five match Smarty. Score = matched / 5.
| Scored field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Delivery line | Standardized street line (delivery_line_1). Primary deliverability field. |
| City | USPS city name (city_name). |
| State | 2-letter state (state_abbreviation). |
| ZIP | 5-digit ZIP (zipcode, +4 normalized away). Corrected/filled where input was wrong/missing. |
| FIPS | 5-digit county FIPS (county_fips). Drives every geo join. |
Excluded by design
plus4, rdi, precision, and dpv_match_code are NOT scored — out of scope for this Q&A.
Secondary units (apartment / suite / #)
The delivery line is scored on its primary street portion, but a secondary unit (#, Apt, Ste, Fl, Unit, Lot …) is excused only when the input never carried one. Two cases:
Phantom unit → PASS. When a malformed input makes Smarty fabricate a unit the input did not have — e.g. a city like L A makes Smarty mis-parse the L as # L while ARS keeps the clean street — the row PASSES, badged ✓unit-only. ARS holding the clean street is correct.
Dropped unit → FAIL. When the input carried a unit (e.g. 800 Sequoia Ct Unit E) and ARS dropped or changed it relative to Smarty, that is lost data and counts as a real delivery-line mismatch — even though the primary street agrees. ARS must preserve the unit in delivery line 1 or 2 to pass.
No-match agreed
For garbage / foreign inputs, when ARS returns no-match AND Smarty has no confirmed delivery point (DPV unconfirmed), both agree the address is undeliverable. Such rows count as PASS and are badged PASS · NM — Smarty echoing the parsed input back is not held against ARS.
Each card: the raw input, ARS's standardization, and Smarty's. Red = the two disagree on a scored field.
What this is. Every synthetic address is resolved by ARS (as-is) and by Smarty directly. Smarty is treated as ground truth.
How to read a row. Five cells = the five scored fields. Green ✓ means ARS equals Smarty on that field; red ✗ means they differ. Score is matched-of-five; a row passes only at 5/5.
Src. How ARS resolved it — cache / athena are 8020's own data (the real test), smarty is passthrough.
Click a row to see the exact ARS and Smarty values side by side.
