Default component weights for the person-match score

Base weights for each name/attribute field. The final contribution of a field is weight * (2 * similarity - 1), so an identical field adds +weight, a completely different field subtracts weight, and a missing field on either side contributes 0 (neutral). The last_name weight is additionally scaled, per pair, by a within-organization surname-rarity factor (see surname_weight()): on a family-dominated board, agreement on the shared surname carries almost no weight and the first name / suffix / gender do the discriminating.

Usage

Value
