  • receiving an identity record;

    determining a plurality of entity resolution (ER) candidate-building keys for the received identity record;

    generating a query from the plurality of ER candidate-building keys to retrieve entities matching any of the plurality of ER candidate-building keys, wherein each ER candidate-building key is derived from at least a field of the received identity record;

    identifying, by operation of one or more computer processors, during execution of the query, a generic ER candidate-building key from the plurality of ER candidate-building keys, wherein the generic ER candidate-building key comprises an ER candidate-building key that is unsuitable for generating candidate entities for the identity record; and

    upon identifying the generic ER candidate-building key, aborting executing the query.
