Mobile-confirmation methodology: a subset of records passes through a carrier-lookup validation layer that sends an SMS verification request (anonymized, non-marketing) or uses carrier lookup APIs to confirm the number resolves to a mobile (wireless) rather than a landline or VoIP line. Mobile-confirmed records are flagged mobile_confirmed: true in the schema. This process runs nightly on all records in the active database as carrier assignments for phone numbers change over time (e.g., when a business owner ports a number from a desk phone to a mobile plan).
