Article summary
Separate numbering plan, service location and avatar visibility when Greenland +299 records coexist with Denmark contact details.
A Greenland business record can legitimately contain a +299 phone, a Denmark address or another international number at the same time. The real risk is a database keeping only one “country” field and letting numbering plan, service location and contact address overwrite one another.
Split three geography concepts into separate columns
| Field | Question answered | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| phone_plan | Which rules parse the number? | Original international code |
| service_location | Where did business occur? | Order or contract |
| contact_address | Where should contact or billing go? | User-provided value |
Why the old slug was repaired
This page has moved from a collision-style numeric suffix to a natural semantic path. The slug now describes Greenland avatar visibility without a WordPress-generated -1 or -2.
An avatar is not location evidence
Background, clothing or text in a photo cannot decide whether someone is in Greenland or Denmark. Do not infer citizenship, ethnicity, occupation or lifestyle either.
Use +299 only in number parsing
Preserve phone_raw. Generate a candidate for a national string only with sufficient provenance; a project name is not row-level country evidence.
Explain avatar blanks by source
Report avatar_observed, not_observed and unknown separately for store, website, partner and legacy CRM records to locate visibility, freshness or format problems.
Do not discard cross-border phones
A Denmark or other-plan phone may be a valid contact point. Process it under its own plan and preserve its relationship to the Greenland business entity.
Keep TXT minimal
Upload one phone per line, without addresses, names or geography judgements. Reconnect Excel through a private row key and review it in staging first.
Expire observational output
Avatar state represents one task time. It may be checked again after expiry, but an old image must not become a permanent customer attribute.
The Greenland answer
Phone format, service location and contact address can all be true simultaneously. Avatar checking answers a narrow visibility question and cannot arbitrate between them.
