How to Add Quality Gates to Scraping Without Blocking Every Run

Quality gates fail when everything blocks a run. This is the gate order we recommend for teams shipping scraped data into production systems.

Recommended order

Missing required fields (price, name) on a product-detail page—hard fail, don't store the row
Soft-block / bot-fallback content detected—retry with a real browser, then fail explicitly if it persists
Low-confidence extracted fields—store with a flag, don't silently treat as ground truth
Minor formatting drift (currency symbol, whitespace)—normalize, don't fail the run

Operating principle

Start permissive on noisy checks, tune for a couple of weeks watching real failures, then tighten. The goal is catching real breakage—not generating so many false failures that alerts get ignored.
