Approval

Nothing reaches the CRM unapproved

Every record is reviewed and approved by a person before it is written, so the CRM never fills up with data nobody has looked at.

Overview

Zero blind writes

An extraction pipeline that writes straight into the CRM eventually pollutes it, and the cost of finding the bad rows later exceeds whatever the automation saved. Clio makes approval a required step: extraction and validation do the work, a person confirms, and only then is anything written.

FAQ

Every record is approved before it is written — extraction and validation do the work, the person confirms it.

What does the reviewer see?

The extracted values, their source pages, their confidence and the validation results.

Can we turn approval off?

Zero blind writes is a design rule, not a setting — it is what keeps the CRM trustworthy.
