Deduplication

Collapse dozens of spellings into one item

The same item written dozens of ways hides how many things you actually have. Aurum’s deterministic matching engine clusters the lines that describe the same item and collapses the duplicates.

Overview

Record deduplication

Duplicate records are the root of untrustworthy master data: the same supplier or material appears again and again under slightly different names. Aurum uses a deterministic matching engine to cluster the lines that describe the same item, so duplicates collapse into one record — and a steward can split, merge or correct any grouping.

What it does

From duplicates to distinct items

A deterministic matching engine clusters lines describing the same item.

Duplicates collapse into a single golden record.

A steward can remove, move, merge, split or edit any grouping.

Reviewed records don’t shift silently when logic changes later.

FAQ

Common questions

How does Aurum decide two records are the same?

A deterministic matching engine clusters lines describing the same item; a human steward can correct any grouping.

What if the engine groups something wrong?

A steward can remove, move, merge, split or edit any grouping — the engine proposes, the human decides.

Do corrections get overwritten on the next run?

No. Reviewed records don’t shift silently; logic changes affect future runs, not settled decisions.
