Common friction

CRM exports are inconsistent across teams
manual cleanup before imports is repetitive
reporting breaks when fields drift
duplicate records create routing errors

Repeatable process

Define the canonical fields and allowed values first.
Show examples of duplicates, blanks, and invalid states.
Ask for a cleanup plan before writing formulas or mappings.
Validate counts before re-importing the file.

Worked example

Input to output

Input

Lead source values include Paid Search, paid-search, Google Ads, and blank values across 12,000 rows.

Expected output

Return: normalization mapping, duplicate logic, rows that need manual review, and an import-ready field list.

Why it works

This reduces the chance of re-importing drifted lifecycle fields back into the CRM.

Before and after example

Better prompt shape

Weak input

A vague request: "Help me with standardize lead source values." It does not include columns, sample rows, target format, edge cases, or review rules.

Stronger input

A usable request: "Act as an operations analyst. Help me reduce manual cleanup before CRM imports and reporting. Input shape: [paste columns and 3 sample rows]. Output: clean table, formula or prompt, assumptions, rows needing review, and next checks."

Review rule
