To check lead list quality before sending, run a pre-send scorecard script on your CSV to grade email verification, duplicates, ICP fit, and name quality. This generates a markdown report with a letter grade and cleanup checklist to minimize bounces.

A lead list scorecard is a pre-validation report that scores your leads across eight dimensions like email verification, duplicate detection, and ICP fit. Catching these quality issues before a campaign launch prevents wasted sends and protects your sender reputation from bounces.

To score and validate a lead list you need a CSV with email, first_name, last_name, job_title or title, and company_name or company, plus company_domain. The script uses these columns to evaluate ICP fit, name quality, and duplicate density.

Yes, the scorecard is designed to validate enriched leads before Smartlead upload. It checks seniority standards, bad-title detection, and catch-all density so your outbound campaigns meet quality standards and minimize waste prior to sending.

To detect duplicate emails and domains in a lead CSV, run the score-list script to automatically flag duplicate entries across your list. The resulting markdown scorecard highlights these top issues alongside an overall grade to guide your cleanup process.

The best way to evaluate ICP fit is to run the score-list script with an optional ICP profile YAML file against your lead CSV. This grades title relevance and bad-title detection, outputting a checklist to ensure leads meet your ICP standards before sending.
