I didn't know this was a thing until you mentioned it. I'm glad there are more options today. I have since left the company and haven't gotten to work in address-related problems since.

We were pretty invested in using Google at the time for their Geocoding API. The questions that needed answering for our use-case were:

- Does this place actually exist?

- Can it be found on Google Maps?

- Do we (the company/researchers) have an entry for this place already?
