Consent is a control

  • • The consent manager records and communicates state; it does not create a legal basis
  • • Optional tags follow the categories and regions actually configured
  • • The lead route preserves the state used at capture

The CRM supplies the outcome

  • • A form fill is not assumed to be a useful lead
  • • The selected CRM stage carries an expected or actual value
  • • Upload logs and retries make failed handoffs visible

Account evidence still matters

  • • Eligibility and matching depend on the implemented route
  • • GA4 and Clarity are investigation inputs, not proof of motive
  • • Every conversion is live-tested once with the intended value
