Contact & data model
How this is scored
Depth and hygiene of the core records — contacts, companies, deals, custom fields, deduplication.
0 — A flat address book; no relations between people, companies and deals.
3 — The standard three objects exist but customization is cosmetic: few field types, no required fields, duplicates accumulate unchecked.
5 — Custom fields across objects, basic dedupe on create, activity history on the record; complex models still need workarounds.
8 — Rich field types with validation, merge and dedupe tooling, relationships beyond the standard model, permissioned field access.
10 — A genuinely modelable system: custom objects or equivalent, bulk hygiene tooling, field-level history — the data model bends to the business, not the reverse.
The Solo Seller
Starter confirms the standard trio — manage contacts and companies, track deals and sales activities — plus SuperNotes pushing structured meeting notes into records. But the evidence says nothing about custom fields, required fields, or any dedupe or merge tooling, so I'd be my own data janitor, and that caps it at the standard-objects level. 2 1
