Evaluate list quality

Score a list’s hygiene instantly — free, no probes, no credits.

Runs an instant, free hygiene scan over a list without any DNS or SMTP probing: duplicates, syntax errors, disposable domains, role accounts, free-provider share and typo-suspects, plus a 0–100 quality_score. Use it to decide whether a list is worth a full (credit-consuming) bulk verification.

POST /v3/validate/evaluate
