InMarketIQ · Data Quality

Usable records need more than populated fields.

InMarketIQ’s foundation combines identity connections, standardized professional and company attributes, available contact validation, and record dates. These controls help interpret information before it is used for buyer prioritization.

Quality dimensions

What should be checked in a usable record.

Field presence, validation, and freshness describe different aspects of quality. They should be interpreted together.

01 / 05 · Information category

Identity consistency

Names, contact channels, profiles, and professional relationships should resolve to the appropriate person.

A matching attribute is one part of identity evidence.
02 / 05 · Information category

Company relationship

A professional role should connect to the appropriate business and domain.

Company changes affect the meaning of the relationship.
03 / 05 · Information category

Normalization

Titles, functions, seniority, domains, and locations need consistent representations.

Standardization supports comparison; it does not prove a value is current.
04 / 05 · Information category

Contact validation

Available validation information helps assess a contact channel.

A populated email field, a catch-all status, and a confirmed mailbox are different states.
05 / 05 · Information category

Recency

Record-level updates and available field-level observations indicate timing.

An updated record does not mean every attribute was reverified.
Refresh and recency

Delivery cadence is different from a field’s age.

Identity records

Monthly core refresh

Core person records follow a monthly refresh cycle. Available company, role, and contact timestamps provide more specific context.

Research signals

Daily signal delivery

Research deliveries cover a reporting period. Delivery frequency does not establish the exact time of every underlying activity.

Use the most specific available date for the question being asked: a professional relationship update, a contact observation, a record update, or a signal reporting period.
Interpreting the record

Understand the value before using it.

Contact presence is different from contact validation
Available address or numberA contact channel is populated in the record.
Validation statusAvailable evidence describes how that channel was assessed.
Catch-all emailDomain acceptance does not independently confirm a particular person’s mailbox.

Contactability varies by person and channel. Available validation information helps interpret whether a contact channel is suitable for use.

Missing information should remain distinguishable
Unavailable fieldThe record does not supply a value for that attribute.
Derived valueA classification or estimate was produced from other attributes.
Historical valueThe value relates to an earlier professional or company relationship.

Missing, inferred, and historical information should not be presented as interchangeable current facts.

Customer fit adds a separate qualification layer
Record qualityWhether the person and company information can be interpreted and used.
Customer fitWhether the company resembles the customer pattern relevant to your business.
Buyer researchWhether relevant activity is associated with the identified person.

A well-formed contact record does not, on its own, establish that the company fits or the person is researching your category.
