Address matching isn't exactly a new problem. USPS provides an [API](https://developer.usps.com/api/18), and there are several python/ruby/any-other-language libraries/modules that would also just be a call instead of however many dozen lines of custom code you have to test.

What M&A are you familiar with that they can typically happen in a 6 day timeframe?
