The single view of the designer account Stark didn't have — the same account, mastered in every acquired brand's system, resolved into one.
24 fragmented records across 6 source masters resolve to 10 golden records — a 58% duplicate rate collapsed on merge. Reconcile the 7 accounts with conflicting payment terms to stop cash leakage and unlock the 9 cross-house accounts.
10 of 24 records resolved to golden · 14 duplicates collapsed · 7 term conflicts open
The same designer account sits on Net 30 in one brand and Net 60 in another across 7 accounts — direct cash leakage and credit risk a single master removes.
24 raw records reduce to 10 golden — finishing survivorship gives every team one account, one team, one set of terms.
9 golden records are already served by ≥2 brands — the resolved master is the cross-house base no brand system could see alone.
Golden record is the join key for Designer Account 360 and Cash 360
Every acquisition brought its own account list, so Peter Marino, Kelly Wearstler and Four Seasons each exist several times across the brand systems — with different names, IDs and even payment terms. Until they're resolved, no one can see the true relationship, total exposure, or cross-house base. This is the golden record AI builds on top of the mesh.
The ★ master survives; the rest merge with a match confidence. Conflicting terms are flagged in red.
| Source system | Name as stored | ID | Terms | AR | Match |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ★Stark CRM | Peter Marino Architect PLLC | ACCT-20231 | Net 30 | £1.4m | master |
| 0Scalamandré legacy | Peter Marino Arch. | SCA-4471 | Net 45 | £1.0m | 95% |
| 0Old World Weavers | P. Marino Studio | OWW-2208 | Net 30 | £800k | 92% |
| 0Fort Street Studio | Marino | FSS-882 | Net 60 | £600k | 86% |
Conflict: payment terms differ across systems (Net 30 vs Net 45 vs Net 60). Survivorship keeps the master's Net 30; the others are flagged for credit to reconcile — exactly the kind of leakage a single view removes.
Cross-house signal: Peter Marino Architect (representative) is served by 4 Stark brands. That's a relationship to coordinate (one account team, one set of terms) — and a cross-house base already inside the house.
Fuzzy + LLM matching on name, address and tax ID links 'Peter Marino Architect PLLC', 'Peter Marino Arch.' and 'P. Marino Studio' to one entity — with a confidence score, not a blind merge.
Records above the confidence threshold collapse into one; borderline matches are queued for a human steward.
Survivorship rules pick the winning value field-by-field (most-recent, most-complete, or the governed source) to form the golden record.
Conflicts — different terms, duplicate AR — are surfaced to credit and sales, and total exposure is netted across the brands.
The golden record is the join key for everything else: it lets Designer Account 360 show one account, Cash 360 net one exposure, and the cross-house engine see that an account already buys from two brands — the same entity-resolution layer that powers the showroom-grain and quote views.
