CAN-SPAM compliance for email outbound: if you're using Owner Leads Direct business email fields for commercial outreach, CAN-SPAM requires: a valid physical mailing address in the email, a clear opt-out mechanism, prompt opt-out processing (within 10 business days), no deceptive subject lines, and truthful "from" / "reply-to" headers. B2B email is generally subject to CAN-SPAM rather than CASL (unless the recipient is Canadian). Best practice: include a one-click unsubscribe, honor opt-outs across all your systems, and maintain a suppression list updated at least monthly.
Quality scoring and record-tier classification: each record receives a composite quality score based on: phone-line type (mobile > landline > VoIP), email validation status (deliverable > risky > undeliverable), record recency (days since last seen in an active data source), source-tier (MCA application > merchant-services partner > B2B data), and business-closure signal status (clear > flagged > confirmed closed). The score drives the source_tier field in the delivered schema, so you can sort your pull by quality descending and work the highest-confidence records first, then step down as your team needs volume.
