- Matching caveat
- The name is an ordinary English word, so the job-corpus matcher cannot use it — sampled matches were "distribution center", "Distribution Centers, Corporate Offices, or Retail Stores" The bare name is blocked in the matcher, so this count reflects only qualified matches. Real adoption needs another source.
