Get Your Money’s Worth From Multibuyers

FYI: Balance Models

If you work with the cooperative database Abacus, no doubt you’re familiar with the term “Balance models.” The same product is available from all of the co-ops, however.

Balance models are exactly the same basic array of models that the co-ops deliver prior to a merge/purge. But when they’re run after the merge, the entire merge output is suppressed from the universe of names that can become model output. Therefore, there are no names delivered from a Balance model that are duplicates of names that came of the merge. All of the output is comprised of unique names.
