Bring the discrepancy.
When tracking, CRM, customer data, automation, and reporting stop agreeing, the problem is usually somewhere between the platforms.
I trace how data moves across the system, locate the divergence, and help repair and validate the underlying operating path.
Discuss a system reviewTell me which decision you cannot trust, where the numbers disagree, and which systems are involved.
A practical path from an unreliable signal to a documented, inspectable change.
- 01
Bring the discrepancy
Start with the decision your team cannot trust, the report or workflow that conflicts, and the systems involved.
- 02
Trace the divergence
Follow the signal through tracking, customer data, CRM, automation, and measurement to identify where the record changes or the handoff fails.
- 03
Repair and verify
Define the change, validate it against the original condition, and document how the team can check it again after release.
Hypothetical CRM source drift — a conceptual walkthrough of how a system review can make a reporting risk visible before it informs a decision. It is not client work, source data, or a reported outcome.
A lead-source value could be captured when a lead enters the system.
A merge could replace that value, making a source change look like a change in channel performance.
A repair could preserve original capture values and define which fields a merge may update.
A reviewer could compare surviving records with original capture values before using a channel report.
Tracking & measurement
Capture, reporting paths, and the checks that make a signal usable for decisions.
Customer data & CRM
Record ownership, lifecycle handoffs, and the values that must survive across connected systems.
Automation
Workflow rules and exceptions that route the right record, action, or review to the right owner.
Documentation & validation
A shared operating record for what changed, why it changed, and how the team can verify it.
Start with the system your team is questioning.
A useful first note names the decision, the mismatch, and the systems that touch it. That is enough to begin the review.
