How it works

Read every record. Fix every gap. Keep it clean.

Codeup Systems runs in three stages. Nothing changes until you have approved it, and everything is reversible within 30 days.

01
Read only

Assessment

We connect to your CRM and conduct a read-only scan of every record in your database, along with any attached documents. Nothing is changed at this stage. We are building a complete picture of what is in your database and what is missing from it.

At the end of the assessment you receive a full database health report. Your current health score. Every gap, inconsistency, and error identified. The records affected. And a projected score showing what your database looks like after corrections are applied.

02
Your decision

Approval

You review the health report and decide what proceeds. Every proposed change is presented clearly. You approve what you want actioned and reject anything that does not look right. Nothing happens without your explicit sign-off.

There is no pressure and no time limit. The report is yours regardless of whether you proceed. Most clients approve everything. You are always in control.

03
We execute

Activation

Approved changes are written back to your records. Missing fields filled. Categories standardised within your existing taxonomy. Contact data formatted correctly. Duplicates merged. Missing addresses and postcodes resolved. Every change is logged with a timestamp.

Any individual change can be reversed within 30 days. Nothing is permanent until you are satisfied with the result.

Ongoing

Monthly maintenance

Data decays constantly. New records are added every week and without regular maintenance the same gaps build back up. A monthly maintenance run processes all new entries added since the previous run, catches new inconsistencies, and keeps your health score moving in the right direction. You receive a monthly report. You only need to review what has been flagged.

A single number that tells you exactly where your database stands.

Every record in your database either passes or fails. A record passes when it is complete, accurate, consistently coded, and not a duplicate. Your health score is the percentage of records that pass, expressed as a number from 0 to 100%.

Most databases score between 25% and 45% on their first assessment. After Codeup, they typically move into the 75–90% range and stay there with monthly maintenance.

Completeness

Are the required fields populated? A customer with no phone number, a candidate with no qualifications on file, a worker with no ticket expiry, a record with a blank email. All invisible to the searches and outreach tools that depend on them.

Accuracy

Does the data pass validation? Wrong postcodes, invalid phone formats, non-Australian state values, bounced email addresses, and expired compliance tickets all count against this dimension.

Consistency

Are categorical fields standardised? When the same job title, service type, or product category is entered differently by different people, searches return incomplete results. We check every categorical field against your existing taxonomy.

Uniqueness

Is each person or business represented once? Duplicate records split history, confuse outreach tools, and inflate database size. We detect duplicates by matching name, phone, email, and location.

What your score means
0–45%
Critical to poor. Significant gaps across multiple dimensions. Common in databases that have grown without data governance.
46–75%
Below average to good. Meaningful issues present. Typical score after one round of Codeup corrections.
76–100%
Strong to excellent. The database is well maintained and AI tools built on it will perform as intended.

The health score measures data quality, not business performance. A score of 82% means 82% of your records are complete, valid, consistent, and unique. What happens when you reach those records is up to you.

From every record in your database.

Missing data fields
Required fields that are blank, incomplete, or populated inconsistently across your database. Identified, enriched from attached documents where possible, and flagged otherwise.
Contact information
Phone numbers standardised to the correct national format. Missing postcodes resolved by suburb lookup. Email addresses validated. Addresses completed where partials exist.
Categorisation & tags
Records standardised within your existing taxonomy. We conduct a pre-assessment scan of how your team categorises entries and align our output to match exactly.
Attached documents
Structured data extracted from attached files (PDFs, Word documents, scanned images) and written back to the correct fields. Nothing useful left stranded inside a file.
Duplicate detection
Records appearing multiple times under different names, emails or identifiers. A merge plan is presented for your approval. Never auto-executed.
Validation & formatting
Dates, numbers, currencies, addresses and identifiers reformatted to consistent patterns across your database. Downstream search, reports and integrations stop breaking.
