🧩 Patterns Added in Iteration 4

Pattern 0: ABBR##-###
Format: Abbreviated street + building number + dash + unit number
Regex: /^([a-z]{2,4})(\d{2,3})\s*[\-]\s*(\d{2,4})/i
Examples: SLP37-301, SLP37-401, SLP37-203, SLP37-503, SLP37-101, SLP37-201

Pattern 0.3: ABBR## - #unit
Format: Abbreviated street + building + space-dash-space + unit
Regex: /^([a-z]{2,4})(\d{2,3})\s+\-\s+\#?([a-z]*\d+)/i
Examples: P.E.21 - #701, VS146 - 102, VS146 - GH1

Pattern 0.5: ABBR # or ABBR PH #
Format: Abbreviated street + optional PH + unit number
Regex: /^([a-z]{2,4})\s+(ph\s+)?(\d+)/i
Examples: Ver 2, Ver PH 7, Ver 5, Ver 3

Pattern 0.8: Street - Number
Format: Simple street name + dash + unit
Regex: /^([a-z]+(?:\s+[a-z]+)?)\s+\-\s+(\d+)/i
Examples: Ibsen - 3

🎓 Key Learnings

Abbreviation mapping is critical: SLP→San Luis Potosí, Ver→Veracruz, VS→Versalles, PE→Paseo de la Reforma
Flexible regex patterns work better: Allow whitespace and extra text after patterns
Multiple separator formats exist: Dash (-), space-dash-space ( - ), hash prefix (#)
Pattern 0.5 was most effective: 40 matches from Ver # format alone
Building guessing helps: "Ver 3" mapped to "Veracruz 26 | 3" successfully

🔮 Next Steps

Analyze remaining 164 unmatched - Find new pattern opportunities
Add Pattern 0.3 to actual matching - Currently in code but needs testing (P.E.21 - #701 format)
Add Pattern 0.8 testing - Simple street-unit format (Ibsen - 3)
Improve Ver guessing - Not all Ver properties are at Veracruz 26
Run Iteration 5 - Target 95%+ match rate

✨ Summary

Iteration 4 was a breakthrough! By identifying abbreviation patterns (SLP, Ver, VS, PE) and implementing flexible regex matching, we improved the high-confidence match rate by 14% (+65 matches) in a single iteration.

The matcher now handles 92.38% of all 2,153 reservations, with only 164 remaining unmatched (7.6%).

Next target: Analyze the remaining 164 failures to discover additional patterns and push toward 95%+ match rate.
