# clsTranslationResult

`clsTranslationResult` is a serializable value class that represents the outcome of a code/data translation operation: the translated `Result` object, an `Accuracies` grade indicating how confident the translation is, and an optional descriptive `Message`. It is used wherever the policy domain needs to report not just a translated value but also how reliable that translation was, per [BR-POL-018](../../../../business-rules.md#br-pol-018-translation-results-expose-graded-confidence-values).

## Purpose
- Carry the translated value (`Result`), its confidence grade (`Accuracy`), and an explanatory `Message` together as a single unit.
- Default `Accuracy` to `Accuracies.Failure` until explicitly set, so an unpopulated result is not mistaken for a successful translation.
- Support construction either as an empty result (default constructor) or fully populated via the parameterized constructor.

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Policy`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.Policy`

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Result` | `Public Property Result() As Object` | The translated value produced by the translation operation. |
| `Accuracy` | `Public Property Accuracy() As Accuracies` | The confidence grade of the translation, per [BR-POL-018](../../../../business-rules.md#br-pol-018-translation-results-expose-graded-confidence-values); defaults to `Accuracies.Failure`. |
| `Message` | `Public Property Message() As String` | An optional descriptive message associated with the translation result. |
| `ToString` | `Public Overrides Function ToString() As String` | Returns `Message` as the string representation of the result. |
| `New()` | `Public Sub New()` | Constructs an empty translation result with `Accuracy` defaulted to `Failure`. |
| `New(Result, Accuracy, Message)` | `Public Sub New(ByVal inResult As Object, ByVal inAccuracy As Accuracies, Optional ByVal inMessage As String = "")` | Constructs a fully populated translation result. |


## Behavioral notes
- Source declaration: `Business\SAIF.Business.Policy\clsTranslationResult.vb`.
- Related operations, rules, and SQL are cross-referenced from the library-level documentation.

## Constraints and usage notes
- Consumers should rely on the declared public surface rather than internal implementation details.
