After Identity Resolution completes, what should you examine to validate the ruleset outcome?

• A. Last Modified Date attribute
• B. Bi-directional ruleset
• C. Resolution Summary
• D. Known Unified Profiles figure

Answer: (C)

When identity resolution finishes, you want a clear record of what happened during the run. The Resolution Summary is the best focus for validation because it documents the actual outcomes of the ruleset: which profiles were matched, which duplicates were merged, what final unified profiles look like, which attributes were updated, and any conflicts or exceptions encountered. This provides an auditable, actionable view of the run to confirm that the rules behaved as expected.

Other items aren’t as helpful for validating the ruleset outcome. Last Modified Date just shows when data changed, not what happened in the run. A bi-directional ruleset refers to how rules interact during matching, not a post-run result you can verify. A Known Unified Profiles figure might offer a visualization, but it doesn’t replace the detailed, run-level details you get in the Resolution Summary.
