Verdicts - Mobile Intel API

Every result has a verdict and a list of reasons that explain it.

Verdict	What it means
`valid`	The number sits in an allocated mobile or landline block and nothing about it was flagged.
`risky`	The number is real but needs a second look: a VoIP or CLEC line, a gap in a pooled block, a toll-free or premium-rate number, or a pattern that looks made up.
`invalid`	The prefix or block isn’t allocated, the number is in the reserved fictional range (555-0100 to 555-0199), or it isn’t a valid +1 number at all.

Real examples

These are real responses (trimmed):

{ "e164": "+12122671234", "phone_type": "fixed_line", "verdict": "valid",   "reasons": ["allocated fixed_line block, clean pattern"] }
{ "e164": "+16502530000", "phone_type": "voip",       "verdict": "risky",   "reasons": ["VoIP/CLEC carrier (disposable/spoofable)"] }
{ "e164": "+18002752273", "phone_type": "toll_free",  "verdict": "risky",   "reasons": ["non-geographic toll_free number"] }
{ "e164": "+12125550123", "phone_type": "unknown",    "verdict": "invalid", "reasons": ["reserved fictional range (555-0100..0199)"] }
{ "e164": null,           "phone_type": "unknown",    "verdict": "invalid", "reasons": ["not a valid NANP number (format)"] }

Using verdicts

Treat reasons as the detail behind the verdict. Show them to your team, or branch on phone_type for finer rules.
risky isn’t the same as bad. A business VoIP line can be a perfectly good number to call. Decide what risky means for your use case.
The verdict describes the number’s allocation and pattern. It doesn’t tell you whether the phone is switched on or who owns it. See coverage and data.
