About Contact Workbench & methodology

How Contact Workbench works, which inputs it supports, what its results mean and where its limits apply.

Contact Workbench

Move contact files with their names, labels and extra numbers intact. Inspect the data, decide what to merge, and keep an original-source archive alongside your new export.

How we build a check

This workbench processes supported inputs locally. We test calculations, file structure and generated artifacts using independent readers or known fixtures where available. The example runs the same processing path as a supplied input; it does not stand in for checking your own result.
