## What the models said for it

- "If you use Salesforce, assess its built-in matching and duplicate rules as a baseline before buying another product" (GPT-6 Luna, CRM data quality)

- "HubSpot and Salesforce both ship native tools, but merges are hard or impossible to undo, so back up first." (Muse Glimmer 30B, CRM data quality)
- "Salesforce: Strong matching rules but often needs add-ons for advanced fuzzy logic or bulk merging." (Grok 4.20, CRM data quality)
