DHL list hygiene checklist: common dirty data types and fixes

Making “screen → tier → feedback” a standard loop turns DHL growth into a repeatable method.

List hygiene checklist: 8 common dirty data types

• Inconsistent formatting (missing country code, extra symbols)
• Duplicates (same number repeated, identity not resolved)
• Stale data (collected long ago, churned users)
• Low-quality provenance (unknown / risky sources)
• Bot-like patterns (sequential blocks, generated numbers)
• Missing tags (country, source, timestamp)
• High failure clusters (needs root-cause analysis)
• No opt-out/suppression list (compliance & UX risk)
