# Scrubest

*/Startups/Scrubest*

## Startup Overview

This system continuously merges duplicate contacts using deterministic entity resolution. It monitors customer databases in the background, identifying matches across fragmented records and consolidating them into single, accurate profiles without data loss.

Revenue operations and CRM administrators deal with constantly degrading data quality as leads flow in from multiple sources. Standard cleanup methods rely on outsourced administrators or complex, fragile rulesets that break when data formats change. This creates bottlenecks in lead routing and skews marketing analytics.

Unlike legacy tools such as RingLead and Cloudingo, which require heavy manual configuration, this software operates fully automated without manual rulesets. It removes the burden of managing deduplication logic entirely. The service aligns directly with data cleanliness, pricing exclusively per resolved duplicate rather than charging flat platform fees.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that continuously merges duplicate contacts using deterministic entity resolution
**Competitors**:

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting RevOps teams seeking to eliminate 100% of manual deduplication tasks.
- Aiming for zero false-positive merges using strict deterministic graph logic.
- Designed to yield positive ROI solely by charging for actual database cleanup.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Resolution · Price: ~$0.15–$0.30 per resolved duplicate · Inclusions: Continuous background scanning and deterministic merging of identical contact and lead entities for single-CRM instances.
- Name: High-Volume Scrub · Price: ~$0.05–$0.10 per resolved duplicate · Inclusions: High-throughput batch processing, multi-object resolution, and direct API access designed for enterprise databases with over 100k records.
**Guarantee**: If Scrubest executes a false-positive merge, we provide an instant one-click rollback to the pre-merge state and refund the resolution fee for that record.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Automated merges overwrite good data: Every resolution logs a complete pre-merge state, allowing instant rollback if a sales rep spots an error.
- We have complex custom objects: Scrubest is designed to automatically map and resolve custom entities without requiring you to write manual rulesets.
- Competitors charge flat fees: Flat fees charge you for clean records; our meter ensures you only pay when a duplicate is actively identified and resolved.
**Pricing Architecture**: UsageMeter

## Startup Brand

**Voice**: Clinical and precise, prioritizing absolute database hygiene and exact technical accuracy.
**Tagline**: Perfectly merged CRM contacts with zero manual deduplication rules.
**Icon Concept**: rolodex
**Palette Intent**: institutional-cool
**Visual Identity**: The visual identity uses crisp whites, slate grays, and deep database blues alongside monospace typography and sharp geometric alignments to emphasize pristine data hygiene.
**Archetype Reference**: the-sage

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: Scrubest → RevOps Administrator → Go-to-Market Team
**Gtm Motion**: Acquisition targets CRM administrators with a free initial diagnostic scan that identifies total duplicate records and calculates the exact one-time cleanup cost. Expansion operates organically through an ongoing usage-based model that bills automatically per newly resolved duplicate as the database continuously grows.
**Agent Channel**: Intended for registration as a deterministic entity resolution tool within the LangChain integration registry and OpenAI capability directories, allowing autonomous RevOps agents to discover and invoke the merging API during data hygiene workflows.
**Primary Channel**: App ecosystem searches within platforms like the Salesforce AppExchange or HubSpot App Marketplace, specifically capturing intent from administrators querying for automated deduplication and contact merge utilities.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 14-day shadow pilot on a 50k-record CRM sandbox: Proves the deterministic graph logic correctly maps and resolves custom entities with zero false positives before live deployment.
- 30-day live deployment on an active enterprise database: Resolves a backlog of 15,000 multi-object duplicates via API to validate the direct cost-savings of the usage-based ROI.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 0 false-positive merges executed by the deterministic graph logic.
- Aim: 100% elimination of manual RevOps deduplication queues.
- Target: $0.00 charged for scanning and evaluating clean database records.
- Aim: 1-click rollback state restoration executed in under 2 seconds.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market SaaS RevOps Manager: Eliminates a weekly manual deduplication queue by deploying continuous background scanning, paying strictly the per-resolved-duplicate fee rather than a flat SaaS license.
- Enterprise Database Administrator: Executes a multi-object resolution batch on a legacy system exceeding 100k records, utilizing direct API access to deduplicate the database at the High-Volume Scrub tier rate.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Revenue Operations: Validates the financial efficiency of the usage meter, confirming the business no longer subsidizes clean records through expensive flat-fee contracts.
- CRM Administrator: Highlights the instant one-click rollback feature, confirming it completely removes the operational risk of automated merges overwriting complex custom objects.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Salesforce or HubSpot tightens API rate limits or restricts automated merging operations, halting the continuous background resolution process. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: The deterministic entity resolution algorithm triggers false positives, resulting in irreversible data loss that instantly destroys customer trust. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Charging per resolved duplicate causes massive billing spikes during the initial CRM cleanup phase, leading to immediate budget rejections from procurement. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Incumbents like Cloudingo release a zero-configuration auto-merge toggle, neutralizing the primary differentiation of manual ruleset elimination. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
