Findings & recommendations

Each finding is tied to observed evidence from this run.

High
Visible validation blocked submission.

A real prospect’s work email triggered a validation error on the corporate-email field, preventing the form from being submitted.

View evidence
Medium
Corporate-email format rules may be too strict.

The validation rejected an address that buyers from common B2B providers may use. Some valid corporate addresses risk being rejected.

Review allowed formats
Low
Error messaging could be clearer.

The observed message “Corporate email is required” does not tell the prospect what format is accepted. Clearer guidance would help recovery.
