Separate controlled import data from spreadsheet text. This synthetic export keeps all 5 records. Four formula-like strings receive an apostrophe prefix in a separate spreadsheet-safe copy. The numeric negative string -12.50 stays unchanged. The normalized export retains the original values for controlled software import. Demonstration work for Clean Sheet Sprint; no client result is claimed. The original file and issue log document exactly what changed.

CSV record counts should follow records, not physical lines. In this synthetic support export, an embedded newline and comma survive CSV round-tripping. 5 input records reconcile to 4 retained records and 1 wholly blank record omitted. Internal spacing stays intact. An invalid email string is flagged rather than guessed; the email check tests syntax only. Demonstration work for Clean Sheet Sprint; no client result is claimed. Source copies, issue logs and count checks are part of the workflow.

A repeated SKU is not automatically a duplicate. This synthetic inventory export contains the same SKU in different locations. All 6 records are retained; repeated keys and a missing quantity are logged for review. Leading-zero IDs remain text in the CSV output, and only outer whitespace is trimmed. Import ID columns as text when using spreadsheet software. Demonstration work for Clean Sheet Sprint; no client result is claimed. The service scope is on my profile.

Clean Sheet Sprint: a synthetic order-export cleanup. 9 input records reconcile to 7 retained records, 1 exact duplicate removed by an explicit rule, and 1 blank record omitted. Conflicting IDs, invalid email strings and missing required fields stay flagged for review. The original file is preserved with a SHA-256 fingerprint. This is a demonstration, not a paid client result. My scoped CSV cleanup service starts at $149: https://contra.com/s/gErrPoR3-clean-one-csv-export-with-an-audit-trail
