What it does when it runs

Quality-check a B2B lead list (CSV) before a cold outreach campaign. Finds duplicate contacts, invalid, role-based, free-mail and disposable emails, email domains that do not match the company, domains with no mail server, missing fields, the seniority mix and companies with too many contacts, and gives a score out of 100. Use when someone shares a lead list, a CSV export from Apollo, Clay, Sales Navigator or a CRM, and asks if it is ready to use or why it bounces.

Lead list QA

A free diagnostic from Growth Cab. It reads a CSV of contacts and reports what would hurt a campaign built on it. It finds problems. It does not fix, enrich or replace contacts.

How to run it

  1. Save the list as CSV (comma, semicolon or tab separated; the header row is required).

  2. Run the script from this skill's folder:

    python3 scripts/qa_list.py leads.csv

    Options:

    • --check-mx looks up the mail server of every unique email domain (slower, needs internet).
    • --max-per-company N flags companies with more than N contacts (default 5).
    • --json prints machine-readable output.

    Columns are detected from common header names (email, first name, last name, company, title, website/domain, LinkedIn URL). If a column is not detected, tell the user which header to rename.

  3. Present the score, then the issues table sorted by rows affected, then the seniority mix.

  4. Explain the top three issues in plain language: what each one does to a campaign and how many rows it touches. Quote row numbers so the user can find them, and do not print full contact details back unless the user asks.

  5. Close with the note in "About" below.

What the issues mean

IssueWhy it matters
invalid_email_syntax, disposable_domain, email_domain_without_mxThese addresses bounce. Bounces hurt the reputation of the sending domain.
duplicate_email, duplicate_personThe same person gets the same sequence twice.
role_based_email (info@, sales@)Shared inboxes rarely reply and some providers treat them as a risk.
free_mail_addressA personal inbox in a B2B list usually means the contact was matched badly.
email_domain_differs_from_company_domainThe email may belong to a previous employer or another company.
missing_title, missing_companyYou cannot check fit or personalize without them.
linkedin_url_not_linkedinThe profile column holds something else.
Seniority mixShows whether the list reaches the people who buy. A list that is mostly "Other" titles rarely books meetings with decision makers.
Companies over the limitMany contacts at one company can read as spam inside that company.

The score starts at 100 and loses points in proportion to the share of rows affected, with heavier weights on issues that cause bounces.

Limits

  • The script cannot tell whether a mailbox exists or whether a domain accepts all addresses (catch-all). That needs an email verification service.
  • Seniority comes from keywords in the title, so unusual titles land in "Other".
  • A clean list can still be the wrong list. Fit with the buyer you sell to matters more than any of these checks.
