Your inputs
Give every synchronized field one authoritative owner
The score weighs bidirectional edits, update frequency, identifier stability and reconciliation evidence before recommending one-way or controlled two-way sync.

How it works
Score sync complexity
Two-way editing, conflict frequency, record volume and tight freshness requirements add explicit complexity points.
Recommend a direction
The result favors one-way or hub-and-spoke flows when ownership is clear and reserves bidirectional sync for justified cases.
Frequently asked questions
When is bidirectional sync justified?
Use it only when both systems must accept authoritative edits and the team can define conflict, deletion and retry behavior.
What is a system of record?
It is the authoritative source whose accepted value wins when copies disagree, even if other systems display or temporarily edit the data.
Does the checker design field mappings?
No. It recommends direction and highlights risks; field-level transformations, identity keys and failure handling still need a detailed plan.
