  "rationale": "Tennessee caps monthly solicitations and requires call logs produced every six months, which is an obligation with a filing deadline rather than a technical control — and a programme that has never produced the logs cannot produce them retrospectively if it did not retain the fields. The volume cap is low enough that a single national campaign can exceed it in one send.",
