What is your business called?
This names the graph Skein is about to build. Nothing else is set up and nothing leaves this machine.
Bring your business in
Ask for an export, not an integration. Every business can produce one of these today, and nothing is written until you have seen what it contains.
1What are you bringing in?
Five things, all of them on the same page of whoever hosts your database. Copy them across and Skein builds the connection string for you.
Skein opens it read-only and never writes to it. Nothing is imported until you have seen the plan in step 2. Your connection string is held for this session only and is never written to disk.
2Check before anything is written
Read what will be skipped and why. That conversation is worth having now, not months from now.
3Connect it
Skein works out which records belong to which client, then tells you which names it would not guess at.
↻Read it again, later
Re-reading everything is safe and slow. Reading only what moved is what makes this a button you press rather than one you avoid, and on a large database it is the difference between seconds and hours.
4Rule on the names it will not guess
This is the step every other product in this category automates and gets wrong. Blanket-accepting scores 0.82 precision against 1.00 for an informed ruling, measured across five industries. It is one click each and you only do it once per name.
