costOptimization:
  recommendations:
    - Purchase larger credit packages to reduce per-credit cost
    - Cache validation results to avoid re-validating known addresses
    - Use standard validation before catch-all validation to avoid unnecessary credits
    - Reserve data enrichment calls for high-value contacts only
    - Monitor credit balance via API to avoid unexpected depletion
    - Use public API key with per-IP daily limits for low-volume form validation
      to avoid consuming private account credits
