The problem it solves

You've built a list of leads, but you don't know how many of those email addresses are actually valid. Sending to bad addresses hurts your deliverability and wastes outreach on contacts who'll never see your message.

Who it fits

Sales, growth, recruiting, or operations teams who manage lead lists and outbound outreach.

How it works

  1. You run the automation against your lead spreadsheet
  2. It splits the list into small batches to avoid rate limits
  3. Each batch is checked against an email verification service
  4. Verified addresses and their quality scores are added to a results sheet
What you get

Outreach lists free of dead addresses

Every address in your lead list is checked and scored for quality, giving your outreach list a clean foundation before you send anything.

What you get

A spreadsheet showing which leads have valid, deliverable email addresses.

What you need

A Google account for Sheets and an email verification service.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
