ACTION CHECKLIST

  • [ ] Execute the workflow in sequence without adding side tasks.
  • [ ] Run one quality check and fix the highest-risk issue first.
  • [ ] Save the final result with a short reuse note.

Goal

Reduce messy source labels that break attribution and sales reporting.

This hub is part of: AI for Sales

Simple rule set

Map noisy inputs into a short approved list:

  • organic search
  • referral
  • outbound
  • paid social
  • direct
  • partner

AI assist pattern

Use AI to classify messy source strings into the approved set, then review exceptions weekly.

Guardrails

  • Keep the approved list short
  • Store raw original value separately
  • Review unknown values before expanding the taxonomy

Why this matters

If source labels drift, dashboards lie and follow-up automation starts branching on garbage data.
