Modeling 

Last updated: July 1, 2026

This Attribute Glossary article provides definitions of attributes tied to modeling

Archipelago does not provide the values for all of these attributes, but rather can ingest them from your uploaded SOV or pull them from submitted documents (PCA, LE reports, etc). Some of these attributes are hidden unless provided to reduce the amount of blank columns on your SOV. If you want an attribute to be made visible or if you would like to add a custom attribute to your SOV, please reach out to support@onarchipelago.com
