# clsTranslationResult

`clsTranslationResult` is a passive, serializable value object that pairs an arbitrary translated result with a confidence grade and an optional message, letting a translation caller distinguish an exact match from a best-guess or failed translation ([BR-POL-014](../../business-rules.md#br-pol-014-translation-confidence-scale)). No in-repo caller of this type was found.**

## Purpose
- Carry a translation outcome (`Result`) alongside a standardized confidence grade (`Accuracy`) so callers can rank or gate on translation quality ([BR-POL-014](../../business-rules.md#br-pol-014-translation-confidence-scale)).
- Default to the `Failure` accuracy grade when constructed without an explicit accuracy, so an uninitialized result is never mistaken for a confident match.

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

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Result` | `Property Result As Object` | Holds the translated value produced by the caller's translation logic. |
| `Accuracy` | `Property Accuracy As Accuracies` | Confidence grade for `Result`, drawn from the `Accuracies` scale (BR-POL-014). |
| `Message` | `Property Message As String` | Optional human-readable note about how the translation was derived or why it failed. |
| `Accuracies` (nested enum) | `Public Enum Accuracies` — `ExactMatch = 100`, `MostLikely = 75`, `Default = 10`, `Failure = 0` | Fixed confidence scale used to grade translation results (BR-POL-014). |
| `New()` | `Public Sub New()` | Parameterless constructor; `Accuracy` defaults to `Failure` per BR-POL-014. |
| `New(inResult, inAccuracy, inMessage)` | `Public Sub New(inResult As Object, inAccuracy As Accuracies, Optional inMessage As String = Nothing)` | Constructs a result with an explicit value, accuracy grade, and optional message. |
| `ToString()` | `Overrides Function ToString() As String` | Returns `Message` as the string representation of the result. |

## Behavioral notes
- The `Accuracies` scale is a closed, fixed set of four grades; there is no mechanism to add custom confidence levels (BR-POL-014).
- No in-repo consumer of `clsTranslationResult` was found; it appears intended for translation logic implemented in other applications that consume this library.**

## Constraints and usage notes
- `Result` is untyped (`Object`); callers must know the expected translated type by convention.

> **Note:** Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
