Matching Pipeline

Alba Core separates matching into two phases.

Hard Filters

Hard filters decide whether a property can be shown at all. Examples:

• location mismatch;

• over budget;

• not enough bedrooms;

• missing rent when a budget is required;

• not enough parking when parking is required;

• property type mismatch.

A property that fails a hard filter cannot be rescued by soft scoring.

Soft Scoring

Soft scoring only ranks eligible properties. It considers:

• location fit;

• budget fit;

• bedroom, bathroom, and parking fit;

• property type fit;

• lifestyle features;

• availability.

The output includes a score breakdown so a reviewer can see why a property was ranked where it was.
