Dedup & CRM Hygiene

Create Demand Lead Lifecycle & Data Foundation High-signal capability Updated July 2026

Dedup & CRM Hygiene — Merges duplicate records, normalizes fields, and retires dead data so the CRM reflects reality. Without it, routing misfires, attribution double-counts, and every downstream capability in this stage degrades quietly.

Where it sits in the lifecycle
