These checks summarize coverage, consistency, and variable structure from parsed rows. Identifier-like columns and year/code fields are treated as categorical so averages are not shown where they would be misleading. Malawi-specific district/domain recognition rates are included to show how much of the file the pipeline can place and classify reliably.
