The “Clean Data” Gate

Subject: Pre-AI CRM Hygiene Audit

The AI Failure Point

According to the Practitioner Critique (Research Section 3), AI models rise and fall on data quality. A lead scoring model built on a “Dirty CRM” (missing fields, inconsistent titles) will produce hallucinations.

The 4-Point Hygiene Audit

Standardization: Use n8n to convert “VP of Mktg,” “Vice President Marketing,” and “Head of Mktg” into a single “VP Marketing” tag.

Firmographic Fill: What % of your accounts have Revenue and Employee Count? (Target: >80%).

Activity Log Integrity: Are email opens and website visits being logged at the Account level?

Enrichment Gap: Identify records missing tech-stack data for “Waterfall Enrichment” (Report 26).

The Fix

Before deploying Einstein or a custom n8n model, run a 30-day “Data Cleanup” sprint using Clay.com to populate missing fields. “Infrastructure first, insights second.”
