replyThat never occurred to me. That's a great insight.

I think you're right. If I want to move forward with it I think it's the only feasible way to validate a proof of concept. Generalizing can't produce a useful tool at my scale.
Thank you! I think this was a helpful nudge. Narrow classifiers could make some things a lot easier. Do you know of any reading materials about routing like this? Is it just programmatic decision tree stuff, or is there something more clever I'm unaware of?
Glad it helps. As for narrow classifiers, it's decision tree logic as you say, and best done via trial and error than over-engineering and theory. Cleverness comes from your own experience :)
