Short answer

How can I use AI to check if my industry codes are right?

Your AI pulls the official definitions for any NAICS or SIC code in your list and compares them to your business descriptions. It flags mismatches where the code doesn't actually fit the business activity. You get a clean list of errors to fix.

Audit outcomes

Where your findings land.

The AI categorizes every finding based on how much work it needs from you.

MATCH

Confirmed accuracy

The AI finds that the code and the business description align perfectly. These records are marked as verified and safe to use.

MISMATCH

Flagged errors

The AI detects a conflict between the code and the business activity. You get a report showing exactly why the classification is wrong.

AMBIGUOUS

Needs human eyes

The business description is too vague for a definitive match. The AI flags these for you to review manually.

MISSING

Missing definitions

The AI identifies codes in your list that don't exist in the official registry. You'll know which entries need a new code entirely.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI moves through your list, fetching official details to validate every entry.

  1. Fetch official details

    The AI looks up the specific industry title and description for every code in your dataset.

    get_classification_details

  2. Compare descriptions

    Your agent compares the official industry text against your internal business descriptions to find logic gaps.

    get_classification_details

  3. Identify mismatches

    The AI isolates rows where the industry code is technically incorrect for the business type.

    get_classification_details

  4. Generate audit report

    The AI organizes the findings into a structured list of matches, errors, and items requiring manual review.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my industry codes automatically?

    No. The AI identifies errors and suggests corrections, but you must manually update your database.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete any of my existing data?

    No. The AI only reads your data and the official classification details to perform the comparison.

  • 03

    What happens if a code isn't in the official registry?

    The AI will flag that code as unrecognized because it cannot find a matching description.

  • 04

    Can I use this to update my CRM directly?

    No. This MCP is for auditing and validation. It does not have tools to write or edit records in external CRMs.

  • 05

    How does the AI handle vague business descriptions?

    If a description is too thin to make a confident match, the AI flags it as ambiguous for your review.
