Consolidation decisions can make information cleaner while making mistakes permanent.
Preserving history, maintaining links, and establishing one record of truth rarely align automatically.
Who you’d be doing this for
“If two records both look official after cutover, nobody knows which one to trust.”
Luisa Sanchez · Compliance Operations Director
Owns audit-ready policy and incident records that will be consolidated from regional workspaces.
What is at stake
The dry run created 74,000 duplicate records where two source workspaces point at the same item, and the migration cannot be undone. You have to choose an identity rule that survives audit and daily use.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- false merges vs. persistent duplicates
- cutover date vs. exhaustive review
- lineage preservation vs. canonical simplicity
- automated matching vs. verified decisions
- customer continuity vs. irreversible data rules
Why Notion
For enterprise workspaces, a credible system of record often depends on how safely fragmented history becomes shared context.
