Phase 1 (Days 1-30): Data Cleansing & Household Deduplication
Over years of practice, wealth advisory databases accumulate duplicate client contacts, outdated beneficiary designations, and fragmented trust records. We outline automated SQL deduplication scripts and household relationship schema mapping to execute prior to data ingestion.

Phase 2 (Days 31-60): Custodian Feed Cutover & API Authentication
Transitioning automated custodial feeds requires submitting master authorization forms to Charles Schwab, Fidelity, and Pershing at least 4 weeks prior to go-live. We detail IP whitelisting, OAuth2 credentials setup, and parallel run testing protocols.
Phase 3 (Days 61-90): User Training, Cutover & Legacy WORM Archival
Ensuring advisor adoption requires role-specific workflow templates for lead intake, annual review meetings, and money movement. Crucially, legacy database backups must be archived in immutable WORM storage to satisfy ongoing SEC Rule 204-2 audit mandates.
