A CRM audit is where I start when a portal feels messy but nobody can explain why. It exposes the structure problems before you spend time optimizing the wrong things.
I use a simple rule: if you cannot explain the data, the workflows, and the reporting in one sitting, the portal needs an audit before anything else.
Check the data first
Look at duplicates, missing values, bounced emails, lifecycle stage accuracy, and orphaned records. If the foundation is dirty, every later improvement is built on noise.
Then check properties and workflows
Unused properties, inconsistent naming, conflicting workflows, and missing documentation are the usual sources of chaos. Clean naming and clear ownership matter more than people think.
Finally check reporting and governance
Reports should answer business questions, and permissions should match roles. If everyone is an admin, you do not have governance, you have exposure.
