CRM Data Grader Overview

At first, you're just gathering data in your CRM. Perhaps there isn't enough there to worry about managing it too much. However, as the CRM data grows and gets more complex, it becomes important to focus on how to organize, clean, nurture, and overall manage that data properly.

The goal of the CRM Data Grader is to help teams learn about best practices related to data and to pinpoint issues that need to be addressed.

The Data Grader analyzes your CRM for the most common issues and automatically generates a detailed report with metrics about poorly formatted data, duplicate data, invalid data, low-quality data, incomplete data, and more.

Overview

To use the CRM Data Grader, connect HubSpot on the CRM Data Grader login page.

Then, your database will be analyzed for issues. Once finished, you'll receive your CRM Data Grade, along with more precise details about what kind of issues exist in your database.

If you are an Insycle subscriber, you can then select a specific issue and Insycle will open with the correct module and template loaded for fixing it.

CRM Data Grade

The overall CRM Data Grade is the percentage of records that do not have any data issues.

For example, if there are 100,000 records in your database (Contacts, Companies, Deals) and the CRM Data Grade is 84% it means that 84,000 records do not have any data issues. It also means that 16% of the records, the remaining 16,000, do have one or more data issues.

The same record is counted only once, even if it has more than one data issue.

For simplicity, we call records with no data issues "good" records and records with one or more data issues "bad" records.

"Bad" Records by Type

This view shows a breakdown by record type of the number of records that have one or more data issues from any category. The same record is counted only once, even if it has more than one data issue.

For example, in the table below, 83 Contacts out of the total 788 Contacts have one or more issues.

83% Contacts are about 11% of the total 788 Contacts, therefore the red portion takes about 11% of the bar, and the green portion takes about 89% of the bar.

"Bad" Records by Category

This view shows a breakdown of the issues, grouped by category.

Within a category, the same record is counted only once. However, when a record falls under more than one category, it's counted in each relevant category.

For example, record ID 12345678 might be poorly formatted, have a duplicate record, and miss key fields. In that case, that record would be counted in all three relevant categories:

Duplicate Data
Poorly Formatted Data
Incomplete Data

"Bad" Records by Issue

For additional details on each category and to see the exact data issues, click a category to expand the view.

In the detailed view, the count shows the number of records affected by that issue.

If a record falls under more than one issue, it's counted in each relevant issue. However, on the category summary level, the same record is counted only once.

For example, in the Duplicate Data category below, the are four different issues:

Duplicate Contacts by Name and Company Name: 46
Duplicate Contacts with similar address and first name: 39
Duplicate Contacts with the same phone number: 37
Duplicate Contacts with the same name and email domain: 35

The net affected number of Contacts records with Duplicate Data issues is 47, which means that some of the records fall under more than one issue. The same Contact might match duplicate Contact by both Name, Company Name, phone number, and email domain, like the example in the table below.

Record ID	Name	Email	Company Name	Phone
1000	Britany Calvert	britany@acme.com	ACME	(212) 123-4567
1001	Britany Calvert	bcalvert@acme.com	Acme, Inc.	2121234567
1002	Britany Calvert	britany.alvert@acme.co.uk	ACME Incorporated	12-123-4567
