Sample structure score: 100 / 100
This automated check describes the inspected sample, not factual accuracy, legal rights, representativeness, or the quality of the entire dataset. It is not a customer rating.
Assessed 10 sample records (CSV) on 2026-10-09. All records in the provided sample were checked.
| Check | Points | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Populated cells | 50 / 50 | 170 of 170 top-level cells contain a value. Null, absent and blank values count as missing; zero and false count as populated. |
| Consistent value types | 30 / 30 | 170 of 170 populated cells match their column's most common observed type. Types are inferred, not checked against real-world truth. |
| Consistent record shape | 20 / 20 | 10 of 10 records have the expected fields. CSV/TSV use the header width; JSON uses the union of observed keys. |
