Identity Reconciliation

A customer is an account number in one system, an email address in another and a name with a typo in a third. Without reconciliation, retrieval about that customer returns fragments that cannot be assembled, and entitlement cannot be evaluated reliably because the system cannot tell whether two records concern the same subject. The problem compounds in AI because retrieval may assemble fragments from several records that were each individually safe to expose — and the exposure only exists once they are combined.

Harmonization in Centralpoint reconciles identity as part of ingestion, so records concerning the same subject are connectable and entitlement is evaluated against a resolved subject rather than a system-local identifier. That is also what makes subject-access and erasure requests tractable rather than a per-system search.
