Classify facts by confidence
Distinguish verified API data, verified public page data, CRM-provided fields and unconfirmed fields.
Never convert absence into failure
A missing fetch result is not evidence that the prospect lacks a feature.
Store provenance
Sources and timestamps make records auditable and easier to refresh.
Build graceful fallbacks
When one provider fails, preserve the valid evidence from other providers instead of discarding the whole record.
Frequently asked questions
What should I prioritize when evaluating data quality software?

Can AI replace the human sales process?
AI can remove repetitive preparation and administration, but teams still benefit from human judgment for nuanced qualification, sensitive claims, exceptions, and relationship-building.
