The Standard: five canonical objects

How to read the Standard Explorer — objects, identity keys, merge rules, mappings.

The five objects

·Company — the durable org. Identity key: primary_domain.
·Account — the workspace's view of a Company. Identity: company_id + workspace.
·Person — an individual. Identity: verified email > LinkedIn URL > name+company+title.
·Signal — a reason to act. Identity: source_system + source_record_id.
·Engagement — a touchpoint. Identity: source_system + source_record_id.

How to use the Explorer

Open any object to see its fields, its identity key, its merge rules (how the same real-world entity is reconciled across vendors), and how each vendor maps into it.

Cross-object relationships and the field-conflict policy are listed at the bottom of the Explorer index.
