Phase 1

30-Day CRM Data & Pipeline Optimization

One coordinated engagement. Two workflows. Separate data and pipeline Health Reports, before and after.

Full service details
Two coordinated workflows

Two Critical Parts of Your CRM. One Complete Improvement Process.

Reliable contact and company information matters. So does knowing which opportunities are active, who owns them, and what needs to happen next. Opticuity CRM evaluates both.

Workflow A · CRM Data Quality

Know What's in Your CRM—and Whether You Can Rely on It.

  1. Stage 1 · Initial CRM Data Audit

    Find the Data Problems Before They Become Bigger Problems.

    Opticuity CRM evaluates agreed CRM records to identify duplicate candidates, incomplete information, inconsistent values, ownership gaps, and other issues that can reduce data usability.

    Audit categories

    • Duplicate contacts
    • Duplicate companies
    • Missing required fields
    • Invalid field values
    • Inconsistent formatting
    • Unassigned records
    • Outdated information
    • Incomplete associations
    • Data standardization issues
    • Inconsistent lifecycle information

    For recruiting clients, the audit includes candidate and client records.

    For commercial real estate clients, it includes owner, investor, property, and entity records where applicable.

  2. Stage 2 · CRM Data Health Score & Report

    Understand Your CRM's Starting Condition.

    The CRM Data Health Score is a structured assessment of agreed data-quality categories. Scoring rules and included record types are established for each engagement. It is not a universal or industry-certified scoring system.

    Potential scoring categories

    • Completeness
    • Uniqueness
    • Consistency
    • Ownership
    • Validity
    • Record associations
    DeliverableInitial CRM Data Health Report

    May include:

    • Records assessed
    • Data Health Score
    • Duplicate candidate findings
    • Missing-field counts
    • Invalid data findings
    • Ownership gaps
    • Prioritized recommendations
    • Issues requiring client decisions
  3. Stage 3 · Approved Cleanup & Data Entry

    Turn Findings Into Approved Improvements.

    Findings become changes only through a documented approval sequence.

    Process

    1. Review audit findings.
    2. Prepare proposed changes.
    3. Obtain client decisions.
    4. Perform approved corrections.
    5. Record completed changes.
    6. Preserve important record relationships.

    Examples

    • Standardize formatting
    • Correct approved values
    • Update record owners
    • Enter verified information
    • Normalize properties
    • Perform approved duplicate merges
    • Preserve record histories

    Safeguard. Uncertain merges and destructive changes require approval before they are made.

  4. Stage 4 · Data Enrichment

    Make Important CRM Records More Complete.

    Enrichment fills gaps in agreed fields using only authorized and verifiable sources.

    Enrichment can involve

    • Company information
    • Business contact details
    • Professional roles
    • Industry information
    • Approved custom properties
    • Relevant industry-specific attributes

    Every value is classified as verified, proposed, or unresolved. Proposed and unresolved values are never presented as confirmed.

  5. Stage 5 · Post-Cleanup Audit & Updated Health Report

    Measure What Changed. Identify What Remains.

    The original audit checks are repeated using comparable scoring rules.

    Some records may intentionally remain unchanged because information cannot be verified or the client has not approved a correction.

    DeliverablePost-Cleanup CRM Data Health Report

    May include:

    • Initial Health Score
    • Post-Cleanup Health Score
    • Findings addressed
    • Remaining exceptions
    • Changes completed
    • Recommended future maintenance
Workflow B · CRM Pipeline Health

Understand What's Happening Across Your Pipeline.

  1. Stage 1 · Initial Pipeline Audit

    Your Pipeline Should Show Progress, Not Create Uncertainty.

    Opticuity CRM evaluates pipeline records, stage information, ownership, activity history, and next-step data to identify inconsistencies that may make pipeline reporting and follow-up more difficult.

    Pipeline audit categories

    • Stale deals or opportunities
    • Missing pipeline stages
    • Invalid stage values
    • Missing record owners
    • Deals without next steps
    • Missing expected close dates
    • Inconsistent deal amounts
    • Incomplete activity information
    • Missing company or contact associations
    • Duplicate opportunity candidates
    • Pipeline status inconsistencies
    • Missing required pipeline fields

    A stale deal is flagged for review. It is not assumed that every stale deal should be closed.

  2. Stage 2 · Pipeline Health Score & Report

    Get a Clearer View of Pipeline Data Quality.

    The Pipeline Health Score is separate from the CRM Data Health Score. It assesses the quality of pipeline information against agreed criteria. It does not predict revenue or guarantee forecast accuracy.

    Potential scoring categories

    • Stage consistency
    • Record completeness
    • Ownership coverage
    • Next-step completeness
    • Activity freshness
    • Association integrity
    • Workflow consistency
    DeliverableInitial Pipeline Health Report

    May include:

    • Pipeline records assessed
    • Pipeline Health Score
    • Stale opportunities
    • Missing owners
    • Incomplete stages
    • Missing next actions
    • Association issues
    • Priority recommendations
  3. Stage 3 · Approved Pipeline Cleanup

    Improve Pipeline Organization Without Making Unsupported Changes.

    Approved cleanup activities address the issues the client has authorized.

    Approved cleanup activities

    • Correct inconsistent stage values
    • Update confirmed deal owners
    • Enter verified next steps
    • Correct approved pipeline properties
    • Address missing associations
    • Review stale opportunities
    • Normalize approved workflow fields
    • Document unresolved exceptions
    Never done automatically
    • Close stale deals
    • Delete opportunities
    • Change revenue amounts
    • Move deals between stages
    • Reassign ownership

    None of these happen without appropriate authorization and supporting information.

  4. Stage 4 · Pipeline Data Enrichment

    Make Pipeline Records More Complete and Actionable.

    Pipeline enrichment focuses on missing or incomplete information relevant to workflow visibility, using verified client information or other authorized sources.

    Potential fields

    • Confirmed next actions
    • Expected close dates
    • Relevant company associations
    • Contact associations
    • Opportunity details
    • Deal owner information
    • Verified transaction details
    • Approved pipeline custom fields

    Safeguard. Expected close dates, next steps, deal amounts, and opportunity statuses are never invented.

  5. Stage 5 · Post-Cleanup Pipeline Audit & Updated Health Report

    Reassess the Pipeline After Approved Improvements.

    The initial pipeline checks are repeated using the same scoring definitions and comparable scope.

    DeliverablePost-Cleanup Pipeline Health Report

    May include:

    • Initial Pipeline Health Score
    • Post-Cleanup Pipeline Health Score
    • Resolved findings
    • Remaining exceptions
    • Completed corrections
    • Recommendations for future maintenance
Health reporting

Two Health Scores. A More Complete Picture.

Clients receive separate assessments for CRM Data Quality and Pipeline Health. The Data Health Score evaluates agreed record-quality criteria, while the Pipeline Health Score evaluates the completeness, consistency, and organization of pipeline information.

CRM Data Health

Agreed record-quality criteria

ReportScore
Initial ScoreNot Yet Available
Post-Cleanup ScoreNot Yet Available

Pipeline Health

Pipeline Health example placeholder
ReportScore
Initial ScoreNot Yet Available
Post-Cleanup ScoreNot Yet Available

Labeled placeholders. No separate data-only or pipeline score has been calculated for any demonstration. These values appear only once a score is calculated from appropriate source data using criteria agreed for an engagement.

Not combined. The two scores are reported separately and are not merged into one overall score. If a combined score is ever offered, its weighting and calculation method will be documented.

Not a forecast. Neither score predicts revenue or guarantees forecast accuracy.

For an earlier format, see the simulated SaaS demonstration. It reports a single illustrative composite health index (fictional data), which is a different measure from either score above.

Reporting rule

Initial and post-cleanup audits use the same definitions for each track. Reports distinguish issues originally identified from those corrected, remaining, excluded from scope, or awaiting client approval:

Identified
Found by the audit, using the agreed definition.
Corrected
Addressed through approved work.
Remaining
Still present after the engagement.
Excluded from scope
Outside the agreed project scope.
Awaiting approval
Held for a client decision.

No improvement percentage is claimed unless it is calculated from actual project data.

How we work

Every Finding Documented. Every Important Change Reviewed.

Opticuity CRM focuses on understanding data problems before making changes. From duplicate records to pipeline inconsistencies, the process emphasizes clear findings, appropriate approvals, and documented results.

  • Transparency
  • Client control
  • Data accuracy
  • Clear reporting
  • Responsible enrichment
  • Preservation of important relationships
  • Before-and-after verification
Data protection

Your CRM Contains Important Business Information. Every Change Deserves Care.

The safeguards below describe how engagements are structured. They are working commitments, not certifications.

01

Client Approval

Significant changes and uncertain record matches are reviewed before execution.

02

Documented Changes

Agreed project deliverables provide visibility into the work performed.

03

Responsible Enrichment

Unverified information is not presented as confirmed data.

04

Defined Backup Procedures

Offline backup scope, storage arrangements, retention, and verification are established before backup services begin.

Specific security, access, data-handling, and backup commitments are governed by the service agreement for each engagement. Opticuity CRM does not display security badges or certifications it has not independently obtained.

Questions

Questions about the engagement

How the 30-day optimization, Health Reports, and optional monthly maintenance work in practice.

What happens during the 30-Day CRM Data & Pipeline Optimization?

Opticuity CRM audits agreed CRM records and pipeline records, and delivers separate initial Data and Pipeline Health Reports. You review the findings and approve corrections; approved cleanup, data entry, and enrichment for both are then carried out within scope. Post-cleanup audits of both verify the work and document what remains. Scheduling depends on dataset size, complexity, access, and timely approvals.

Will I receive a CRM Health Report?

Yes. The engagement reports on two separate tracks: a CRM Data Health Report and a Pipeline Health Report, each delivered before changes begin and again after cleanup, using consistent definitions so each can be compared before and after. The two scores are not merged into one.

Does Opticuity CRM update CRM records directly?

It can, where appropriate. Direct updates depend on authorized access, agreed permissions, and the approved project scope. Some engagements work from approved exports or read-only access instead.

What is included in monthly maintenance?

Separate monthly CRM Data and Pipeline Audits with their Health Reports, agreed data entry, approved pipeline corrections, ongoing enrichment of supported fields, exception tracking, and an agreed encrypted offline backup of exportable CRM data. Volumes and coverage are defined in the service agreement.

Do I have to subscribe after the initial 30-day engagement?

No. Monthly maintenance is optional and can be discussed after the initial engagement.

How are offline backups handled?

The backup procedure, export coverage, encryption method, retention schedule, and storage arrangements are agreed before implementation. Not every CRM exposes all records, attachments, histories, or metadata through export, so coverage is defined explicitly.

Does the monthly service include unlimited data entry?

No. Record volumes, supported activities, and turnaround expectations are defined in the service agreement.

Will the monthly retainer keep my CRM completely error-free?

No. Regular maintenance helps identify and address data-quality issues, but new issues can arise between reviews.

Can I request additional cleanup work?

Additional work can be evaluated and quoted based on the required scope.
