Reversibility evidence for CRM account merges in Philippines support
A research protocol for testing whether approved duplicate-account merges preserve identity, consent, and connected records.
Question and scope
under a declared CRM configuration, which pre-merge evidence and post-merge checks predict whether a duplicate-account merge can be verified or safely reversed? The unit is one approved merge pair. The study excludes identity adjudication and does not generalize across every CRM product.
How the study was structured
define critical fields and connected objects before sampling. For each pair, preserve candidate-match evidence, approval, surviving-record choice, field-resolution rules, relationship counts, consent state, owner, and audit identifier. Run a staged test where possible, then compare the approved snapshot with the live post-merge record and restoration procedure.
What this evidence cannot establish
a matching field count does not prove semantic correctness, and a successful rollback test does not guarantee recovery after later automation. Separate observed preservation, owner-approved conflict resolution, and inferred identity. Record false-positive candidates as well as completed merges.
Evidence sources and relevance
NIST SP 800-53 provides controls for audit records, configuration, and contingency planning; NIST's Privacy Framework frames data-processing risk; and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission publishes business guidance for protecting personal information.
What this evidence cannot establish
vendor audit features differ, integration effects may occur after observation, consent rules vary by jurisdiction and purpose, and staged data may not reproduce production complexity. Report software version, integration inventory, access model, sampling rule, observation window, and every untested recovery dependency.
Evidence-led conclusion: approved snapshots plus relationship, consent, audit, and recovery checks create stronger merge evidence than a duplicate score alone. The protocol can reveal control gaps but cannot authorize a merge or determine legal identity. Retrieved 2026-09-08.
