Documenting WhatsApp Enrichment So Stakeholders Read It Correctly
A short template for describing WhatsApp profile enrichment fields from NumberChecker.AI so that stakeholders do not over-read them.
The Whatsapp Avatar, Age, Gender & Others Checker reports WhatsApp account-presence and available profile enrichment. Documenting each returned field with what it is, what it is not, and when it was checked is what keeps its meaning intact as it travels through a company.
Three lines per field
For every field, write what the checker reports, one sentence on what it does not establish, and the check date. Three lines is short enough that people actually write them and short enough that people actually read them, which is more than can be said for a full data dictionary nobody opens.
Put the caption where the value is displayed
Documentation stored away from the data does not travel with it. A caption in the dashboard or a note in the exported file header reaches the person who is about to draw a conclusion, which is the only place it can change an outcome.
Name the platform in every field name
Because each checker is scoped to its own platform, a field name without a platform invites a merged reading. Including the platform in the name is the cheapest safeguard available and it survives being copied into someone else’s spreadsheet.
Re-state the limits when reporting on it
When enrichment appears in a report, repeat the one-sentence limit in a footnote. Reports outlive the conversations that produced them, and the footnote is what stops a coverage chart from being read as a verification rate later.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is a data dictionary enough?
Rarely, because it lives away from the data. A short caption next to the displayed value reaches people at the moment they are about to interpret it.
What is the single most useful line to write?
The one stating what the field does not establish. Field names already suggest what a value is; almost nothing suggests where it stops.
