DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Keep customer details aligned without overwriting the wrong record.

For work involving proposed matching and field updates across authorized customer records, use this review to check the evidence before action. Compare selected customer records and prepare proposed field updates for the data owner. Similar names, stale values, and conflicting field rules can merge the wrong people or overwrite a reliable record. Confirm purpose and access rights, validate stable identifiers and mappings, keep an audit trail, and require the record owner to approve every merge and live update.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Compare selected customer records and prepare proposed field updates for the data owner.

  1. Confirm authority and data purpose

    Use only records the requester may access for the stated, limited purpose.

  2. Validate matches, fields, and time periods

    Check identifiers, schema, units, dates, duplicates, and source versions.

  3. Resolve gaps instead of filling them in

    Flag missing, conflicting, or extracted values for source-level confirmation.

  4. Minimize exposure in results

    Include only necessary fields and share the result with its approved audience.

  5. Approve changes and exports

    Have the data owner verify live edits, conclusions, or transfers before they take effect.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.
