Review a Mistaken-Identity Case

You work a file where the wrong person was tied to the record, and you find where the identification broke down and how to keep it from breaking again.

Compare Candidates Against One Subject

You weigh several records that could each be your subject, and you practice the disambiguation that lands on the right one and rules out the rest.

Write the Conclusion That Holds

You draft the analytical conclusion that states the match, its basis, and its confidence, so it survives the first serious challenge.

About the course

Identity resolution is quiet work with loud consequences. Get the person right and everything downstream stands. Get it wrong and the error rides the file all the way to the work product. This workshop is two hours of hands-on practice in getting it right and proving that you did. You work the situations the job actually produces. A record attributed to the wrong person. A set of candidates who all share a name. A match that has to be written up so it holds when a reviewer, a client, or a court asks how you know. Each exercise is drawn from the kind of file that lands on your desk. This is the practitioner tier, so the emphasis is on doing. You leave having practiced the judgment identity resolution demands, not just read about it.

Practice spotting where an identification broke down, using a real mistaken-identity case.

Learn to weigh several candidate records against a single subject and resolve which one is yours.

Write an identity conclusion that carries its basis and its confidence, so the match holds under challenge.
