# Match Validity

Eduction assesses the validity of a match in the following order:

1. If the match is not found inside one of the required zones, discard it.
2. If the match does not meet the minimum score requirement, discard it.

3. If duplicates are allowed:

   - If the instance of the match is allowable, count this instance and return the match.
   - Otherwise, count this instance and discard it.

4. If duplicates are not allowed for the entity field:

   - If the matched text has been found before, discard it.
   - Otherwise, if the instance of the match is allowable, count this instance and return the matched text.
   - If the instance of the match is not allowable, count this instance and discard it.
