1. A computerized method of evaluating a reliability of using ambiguous input geographic data to generate a geocoded bounding object, the method comprising: selecting a first plurality of n different types of locate test to be used to convert the ambiguous input geographic data into a bounded object output having latitude and longitude information; retrieving a known certainty value (l−u) associated with each test in the selected first plurality of n different types of locate tests, wherein each test comprises a unique uncertainty value u; defining a weighting constant (w) for each test in said selected first plurality of n different types of locate tests, the weighting constant within a range of 0.0 to 1.0; and generating an apposite bounding surface defining the reliability of the bounded object output with respect to the ambiguous input geographic data, the apposite bounding surface defined as the combination of all matches from the plurality of n different types of locate tests.
