Ever wondered if your “VIP customer” is actually three different people in your system? Or if that suspicious transaction is from the same person using slightly different details? Entity resolution is the science of knowing when different records represent the same real-world entity – like discovering that your customer “John Smith” at john.smith@email.com is also “J. Smith” at j.smith@company.org.

Why should you care? This isn’t just a data cleanliness issue – it’s the difference between personalized marketing that works and fraud that goes undetected. Whether you’re in fintech, e-commerce, or any data-driven industry, mastering entity resolution can transform your business outcomes.
