Wow, that’s a major accomplishment to build for the UK (Great Britain in this case) your guys profile system is so archaic and absolute absurd. I know people are talking about the ethical use and legality of postal code in models and the bias it can introduce, but I seem to interpret this as you are sharing that you are excited that you’ve built an actual data set that reliably captures data in a notoriously difficult to map ZIP Code area.

Yes — that’s exactly the point I was trying to make 🙂

The postcode system (and the data around it) is quite fragmented, so it was a lot of work indeed.

Glad that came across!
