(Incidentally, uk_address_matcher should work ok for non-UK addresses, that's just no our focus. See examples here for how to use the package github.com/moj-analytic...)

Did you try github.com/moj-analytic...?
The trie is WIP, but the idea is that it will be used as an initial step to skim off the easy ones. The remainder will go through to the main matching phase which already exists in uk_address_matcher, but is more computationally intensive

You select the columns you want, and it handles the joins for you.
It's just a rough sketch for now. I feel like it must have done before, but couldn't find anything. Feedback welcome!

Then give output to VS Code copilot in agent mode to implement

I think more blocking stage. UK blocking is relatively easy because postcode gets you down to about 50 or fewer addresses. So if your postcodes are accurate, blocking isn't too hard. For addresses outside UK, you might need to lean more heavily on the signature based approaches

It's pretty easy to set up a markdown-based blog using github pages for free. Custom styling is much easier now we're in the world of ChatGPT!
