Remarks

Although picking a hard cutoff is not the recommended usage of the Netrics Matching Engine (as the correct result will sometimes have the best scoring yet low score), sometimes the business requirements state that a "no results found" scenario is expected. In this case, using an absolute cutoff can be used to implement this. If one wants to use one of the dynamic cutoffs below, as well as an absolute cutoff, it is best to just postprocess the results to enforce the absolute cutoff.
