Top 10 Common Mistakes

1. No Conditional Runs on Paid Enrichments

Symptom: Credits burning on rows that already have data. Fix: Add conditional run to every paid column: /field is empty. Non-negotiable.

2. Auto-Update Enabled During Testing

Symptom: Credits consumed every time new rows are added. Fix: Set table-level auto-update to OFF while building. Only enable when workflow is finalized.
