Data Consistency
Data consistency means the same record reads the same across every system — no contradiction between what the CRM says, what the marketing automation says, and what the warehouse says.
What is data consistency?
Data consistency is the property of the same logical record matching across systems and across time. Inconsistency shows up as: same lead with two different statuses in CRM and marketing automation, account name spelled three ways, opt-out honored in one system but not another.
Why it matters
- Inconsistent data drives compliance risk (opt-outs not honored everywhere)
- Reporting becomes unreliable — which system's number do you trust?
- Reps lose confidence in tools the moment they see contradictions
How to enforce it
- Designate a system of record per data domain (CRM for accounts, sequencer for engagement)
- Sync changes via webhooks or short-interval jobs
- Use a stable canonical key (work email, account domain) across systems
- Run reconciliation reports that flag drift
