Table 1How are governance, quality, hygiene, and adoption different?
| Object | Question it answers | What it owns | Error when it is merged |
|---|---|---|---|
| Governance | Who decides the rule, owner, access, exception, and review cadence? | Decision rights and control design | A cleanup task is mistaken for an operating system |
| Data quality | Does this field or record fit the declared decision? | Observed status against a rule | A single cleanliness score hides different failures |
| Hygiene | What maintenance action corrects, merges, enriches, or retires a record? | Work performed on the data | Work is treated as proof that the result is now valid |
| Adoption | Are people integrating the CRM tools and routines into selling work? | Use, knowledge, and behavior | A governed field is mistaken for a used process |
