Raw multi-surface JSON, engine findings (json+md), and VALIDATION.md for the
Crystal Blue Plumbing Heating & Air run. Demonstrates the GBP match gate
rejecting a wrong entity and falling back to Apple with a glyph-clean phone
('+1 (916) 571-6448').

Validation Run: Crystal Blue Plumbing Heating & Air

Date: 2026-08-14 Business: Crystal Blue Plumbing Heating & Air Location: Placerville, CA (search) — resolved to Loomis, CA (same metro) Vertical: Plumbing / HVAC (GTM-aligned) Run context: Post-fix A validation — GBP entity-match gate + phone glyph strip.

Purpose

Prove the GBP scraper no longer ingests a wrong entity and that phone/address PUA glyphs (\ue0b0 map-pin) are stripped before the contract is built.

Surface Results

Surface Status Notes
Google Business Profile ⚠️ Rejected This run the gate rejected GBP's matched entity (name="Hours") and fell back to Apple. No glyph pollution.
Apple Maps Good Primary source: full NAP, 4.2★/65, hours, website, phone (916) 571-6448 — glyph-stripped.
Bing Places Failed No data returned (known gap).
Website Failed HTTP 403 (crystalblueplumbing.com) — distinct from "no website".

Fix Verification (Step #2)

  • Phone glyph: raw GBP/Apple phone fields contained a leading \ue0b0 (BMP Private-Use-Area map-pin). Old strip regex only covered the Supplementary PUA plane (\U000E0000-\U000EFFFF), so it never matched. New regex [\ue000-\uf8ff\U000E0000-\U000EFFFF] strips both planes. Confirmed clean: phone '(916) 571-6448'glyph? False.
  • Match gate: _looks_like_match() rejects search-page titles and any name sharing no ≥4-char token with the query. Crystal Blue's name="Hours" was rejected; RK Mechanical Air Services Inc. (Aire Serv probe) was also rejected. No false positives.

Key Findings

Engine produced findings from the merged contract (Apple primary). The earlier hour-mismatch false positive (GBP "Open 24 hours" vs Apple) is now suppressed because GBP was rejected, not merged as primary.

Reliability

  • Scraper ran to completion, no crash, valid JSON.
  • Engine produced findings.json + findings.md.
  • GBP entity gate engaged correctly.
  • Apple fallback path produces glyph-clean phone.

Artifacts

  • crystal_blue_plumbing_heating__air_multi_surface_2026-08-14.json — raw scrape
  • findings.json — engine output
  • findings.md — markdown report
  • VALIDATION.md — this file

Verdict

Pipeline is production-usable for the next real audits. GBP remains the highest-value surface; when it degrades, the gate + Apple fallback keep the contract clean instead of poisoned.
