For a Philippines-based virtual assistant, start with the source record, the expected result, and the point where the work must pause. the contact-data owner should provide one finished example and one incomplete example.

• Keep possible duplicates in a review queue.
• Record the reason for every approved change.

Make the handoff easy to check

Keep decisions with the owner

Do not merge uncertain identities, remove a contact, or change consent status without the responsible owner. Give the role only the access needed for its first lane. Record corrections where the next person will see them.
