250 "validated" spreadsheets arrive broken every collection
An analyst must consolidate roughly 250 Excel templates returned by external organizations whose copy-paste overwrote every dropdown and validation rule: text in date fields, drifted headers, hidden characters. Power Query merges are so slow that each change re-refreshes all 250 files, making iteration under a deadline painful. This is a recurring cleanup project for anyone who collects spreadsheet data from outsiders.

DDMarketer monitors public communities where users describe problems in their own words, then screens and scores each complaint before publication. The full pipeline is documented in our methodology.
