There's an option to tag imported books with a tag. So books I haven't cleaned have that tag. A lot of imported books have a wrong title or no authors or incorrect publication date, etc.
I have a small number of tags I add to books when I've verified certain metadata fields or verified all the fields I care about. So if there's no genere or not enough category tags, etc.
I have a number of saved searches to search for books that are missing certain types of metadata or appear to have invalid metadata or are missing the tag indicating the metadata is verified.
I also have a tag I put on books when I'm tired of finding them in the new books but don't feel like finishing the metadata.... and will get to them later.
I also have a custom column that I update with cover quality flags, so I have a couple of custom searches to look for books with no covers or flagged as having a poor cover or having a high quality original cover. Sometimes I search for better covers, sometimes when there's no obvious good artwork for a document, I'll just generate a boring text cover and flag that. When I'm bored, I'll first generate covers for books with no cover or covers that don't include the book title. Then I'll browse the books with poor covers and maybe improve some fo them.
Edit: I forgot about the column icons. I use that too, but with this discussion reminding me, I've added a few more. Great ideas here!
