A new metadata source is increasing import completion while breaking the links that make contract data useful.
Fast contract ingestion protects customer momentum; accurate entity connections protect trust in supplier and contract views.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I imported 9,000 agreements, then spent Friday merging the same supplier names over and over.”

What is at stake
Confirmed counterparty links fell from 89% to 61% after a metadata source changed. You need to weigh uninterrupted imports against the trust customers need in connected contract data.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- import continuity vs entity accuracy
- higher match rates vs explainable links
- fast correction vs durable shared data
