How to avoid a messy second run

Start with the smallest exact query that proves source access and field quality.
Export source URLs and stable IDs so repeat runs can deduplicate correctly.
Check diagnostics before treating empty, blocked, or partial runs as real market signals.
Schedule repeat runs only after the first dataset has the fields and filters you need.
