Hi Tom, This is an example of the first way I and I think others in the humanitarian world need to use OLCs to evaluate them for what they can or can not solve for humanitarian and other use cases:
https://twitter.com/BlakeGirardot/status/1028689726088388609 We need to deal with them at scale, not at the "look up" an individual address process which is trivial to solve. That is really the first step, for folks to learn the grid and it's inherent scale steps and how that translates into OLC codes of various lengths.
