DEMO SCENARIO (SYNTHETIC)
Track a ceremony booking without conflating legal steps
1. Qualify the inquiry by date, location, ceremony type and legal jurisdiction.
2. Collect couple preferences and draft a versioned ceremony script.
3. Confirm rehearsal, arrival and balance reminders.
4. Complete a separate jurisdiction-specific license and filing checklist.

MIGRATION
Plan a controlled data move
Import inquiries and booked dates, signed service terms, payments and balances, couple contacts and consent, questionnaire answers, ceremony script versions, venue and rehearsal details, travel buffers, referral source and jurisdiction-specific task reminders. Restrict document access and verify upcoming dates and legal checklists individually.

A POSSIBLE FIRST BUILD
A CRM cannot determine whether an officiant is authorized to solemnize a marriage or whether a marriage license was validly completed. The officiant and couple must verify current local requirements, signatures, witnesses and filing deadlines with the appropriate authority.
