DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Make a practical first pass at contact details transcribed from business cards shared for a stated business purpose while leaving judgment with people.

For an authorized purpose, prepare a proposed contact record that its owner can verify against the card. A photo may include bystanders or private surroundings, and text recognition can change names or numbers. Confirm permission and purpose before saving, collect only needed fields, protect and remove the image when appropriate, and require the record owner to approve each saved contact and follow-up. Use only necessary information, explain retention, respect consent and source rights, verify material details, and keep external or consequential actions under accountable human approval.
