A deduplication tool's match confidence scores are used to auto-merge citizen records with no business review, including near-threshold matches. What practice should DQ insist on?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Match scores are weather forecasts, not marriage licenses. High-impact citizen merges need business review thresholds, not blind faith in a confidence number. Keep humans in the loop where wrong merges hurt.
Full Explanation
Automated matching accelerates candidate identification but confidence scores are probabilistic, not infallible truth. High-impact merges—especially for citizen, patient, or financial entities—need business review bands, survivorship rules, and exception queues. Treating scores as automatic gospel risks wrongful consolidation and hard-to-reverse damage. Human-in-the-loop thresholds are a core DQ control adjacent to MDM practice.
