## TL;DR
Fix this in enrichment consent gating by acting on the exact message first: add a consent and lawful basis check before enrichment runs, hold EU leads with no recorded basis out of the enrichment queue, and record the basis on the lead when it exists so the check is auditable. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one record, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

## Use this when
- The operation in enrichment consent gating fails with this exact message: how to fix enrichment consent error EU lead enriched without lawful basis fails.
- The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
- A run, import, export or alert is blocked until this item completes.

## Not for this skill when
- The message is a permission or platform outage notice. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
- The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

## Steps
1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in enrichment consent gating, and copy the full message plus the record, account or list involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named record, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: add a consent and lawful basis check before enrichment runs, hold EU leads with no recorded basis out of the enrichment queue, and record the basis on the lead when it exists so the check is auditable. Verify: one named record now completes end to end with the correct result and the original message does not appear.
3. Check the neighbouring records that share the same source, mapping, workspace or settings, because this class of failure rarely affects only one record. Verify: the neighbouring records are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result counts, fields or alerts against the source in enrichment consent gating so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in enrichment consent gating on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the record so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

## Why it happens
The pipeline enriched every imported lead by default, with no step that asked whether processing that person data was permitted.

## Variant phrasings

### how to fix enrichment consent error EU lead enriched without lawful basis fails
The verbatim form searchers paste from the terminal or console. Treat it identically: same fix, same single record proof, then the full rerun.

### How to fix this failure in enrichment consent gating
The how-to phrasing for the same failure. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

### Troubleshooting this failure in enrichment consent gating
The symptom-first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full message first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Compatibility: enrichment consent gating at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.
