How Do I Ensure Data Quality for ABX Programs?
Make every play trustable. Define a Golden Account, enforce data contracts, and instrument prevent-detect-correct controls so targeting, routing, and measurement are accurate across your stack.
Ensure ABX data quality by building a single account graph (Golden Account + people + domains + hierarchies), implementing lead-to-account matching & dedupe, and enforcing field & event contracts at intake and integration points. Add enrichment with SLAs, consent governance, and health monitoring—then publish a weekly scorecard for completeness, duplicates, match rate, and contactability.
First Principles for ABX Data Quality
Your 90-Day ABX Data Quality Plan
Codify the Golden Account, wire controls, and operationalize stewardship.
Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 3
- Days 1–30: Define & Baseline — Draft Golden Account model and field dictionary; document L2A rules; profile current data (completeness, duplicates, bounce, consent); add intake validation to forms and imports; set target KPIs and tiers (Tier 1/2/3 accounts).
- Days 31–60: Match, Enrich & Normalize — Implement L2A matching and auto-attach; deploy dedupe/merge with audit trail; enable firmographic/technographic enrichment on Tier 1–2 with SLAs; standardize taxonomies and picklists; launch data health dashboard and alerting.
- Days 61–90: Monitor & Govern — Automate freshness checks, SLA timers, and consent gating; institute change control & access reviews; set stewardship cadences; publish weekly scorecard; run A/B tests on routing/scoring changes powered by cleaner data.
ABX Data Quality Matrix (Phases, Owners, Outputs)
| Phase | Primary Focus | Owner(s) | Key Outputs | Primary KPI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Define & Baseline | Golden Account, schemas, profiling | RevOps + Data Ops | Field dictionary, L2A policy, baseline report, intake validation | Golden Account Coverage % |
| 2. Match & Enrich | L2A attach, dedupe, enrichment | RevOps + MOps | Auto-attach rules, merge workflow, enrichment SLAs, taxonomy standards | Lead→Account Match Rate |
| 3. Monitor & Govern | Health monitoring, consent gating, change control | Data Ops + IT + Compliance | Health dashboard/alerts, stewardship cadence, change log | Duplicate Rate • Marketable % |
Data Quality Control Strategies for ABX
| Strategy | Purpose | Examples | Where It Lives | Strengths | Watchouts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preventive | Stop bad data at the door | Required fields, picklists, regex email checks, domain blocklists, event schema validation | Forms, MAP, CDP, ingestion layer | Lowest downstream cost | Over-strict rules can hurt conversions |
| Detective | Spot issues fast | Health dashboards, freshness/coverage tests, anomaly alerts, SLA timers | Warehouse/BI, CDP monitors | Improves visibility & accountability | Alerts without owners become noise |
| Corrective | Fix and standardize | Auto-merge dupes, normalize states/countries, backfill enrichment, repair consent | CRM workflows, iPaaS, warehouse jobs | Quick ROI on messy backlogs | Needs audit trail & rollback |
| Governance | Keep quality durable | Data council, change control, stewardship RACI, quarterly taxonomy reviews | RevOps/Data Ops processes | Prevents quality regression | Requires executive sponsorship |
