One post tagged with "confidence"

You've got a hundred thousand addresses to reconcile. Two databases, the same clinics and providers scattered across both, each one spelled a dozen ways: abbreviated here, reordered there, a postcode dropped, a suite number glued to the street. You run them through a geocoder, match on the resolved coordinate, and it works. Mostly. Some fraction land on the wrong building, the wrong block, the wrong town, and the geocoder won't tell you which fraction. It hands back a pin for every row and the same silent confidence for all of them: none.

That's the gap we set out to close. Every geocoder chases accuracy, be-right-more-often, and so do we. The piece almost nobody hands you is the one underneath it: a number on each answer that tells you which ones to trust, so you can keep the good ones and send the rest to a human.
