   @willbarrett: (I'm the advisor of Sascha-Geschwind and his two student colleagis). 
   
   I respect the principle to keep a narrow scope of this nice BI tool. But I'm unsure why you insist calling Geocoding an "enrichment", since "Geocoding is the computational process of transforming a physical address description to a location on the Earth's surface (spatial representation in numerical coordinates)." Without geocoding you miss a many opportunities of location intelligence to visualize spatial data.
   
   Obviously, behind an adress Geocoding API there's a data set of building addresses. But that's also the case for many other geocoding systems (like plus code, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocode ). The result of this "transformation" is being stored just for computational reasons - very much like aggregations are also often materialized.
   
   Are there other reasons of this kind of geocoding which bother you?
