PDLScores™ (Person)

What’s New
This month, we are releasing PDLScores™ into Early Access! This initial release introduces two scores for Person Data:

• Profile Score: A bucketed signal indicating whether a profile appears to represent a real person
• Activity Score: A bucketed signal indicating whether a profile appears to be actively maintained

Supporting Score Factor objects are also included providing additional transparency into the signals behind each score. For field-level details, examples, and additional guidance, please see the PDLScores documentation. Availability During Early Access, PDLScores™ are only available to an invited group of Early Access customers. General Availability is scheduled for the July 2026 (v35.0) release. If you’re interested in learning more, please reach out to your PDL account team.
