Capital at risk if acquired as-is: €742,038/yr - the data exposure the buyer inherits on day one, before the value-creation plan even starts.

The finding that lands

Counts computed from the data
NotableSalesforce ↔ NetSuite

943 customers exist as two different companies across Salesforce and NetSuite.

€1,717,045 of revenue can't be reconciled

The same account is recorded under different names, IDs or addresses in each system. Each one is clean in isolation, so every single-system audit passes them.

Worth fixing before you scale AI: Any AI keyed on customer identity (pricing, churn, lifetime value, next-best-action) trains on a contradiction and ships confident, wrong answers.

NotableSalesforce ↔ NetSuite

2,631 of 74,160 customers in Salesforce have no matching record in NetSuite.

€1,717,045 of revenue sits in a cross-system blind spot

Forecasting and revenue AI can only see half the picture, so projections are built on a partial book.

NotableWorkday ↔ Salesforce

1,038 internal employees from Workday are sitting in the Salesforce contact list.

1,038 records mislabelled as customers

Segmentation, scoring and outreach AI treat employees as prospects, polluting every model trained on the list.
