Client Scenario

What problem are you solving?

A small AI customer-service vendor sends a rough lead sample with duplicate companies, missing websites, inconsistent country names, and mixed demand signals. They want to see whether you can clean a small sample before handling a larger list.

System Context

Use these assumptions

Assume the final output will go into Google Sheets, Feishu Sheets, or Excel. Do not access a real CRM or invent missing real-world data. Work only from the supplied sample.
