Parse landing URLs once, normalize keys, and join to spend—future AI queries over your warehouse stay stable.
Overview
Raw session tables embed URLs; extract parameters with SQL or ELT tools into dimension tables.
Why it matters
Lowercase and trim during ingest to deduplicate historical chaos.
Implementation playbook
Maintain a seed file of allowed values for fuzzy matching when teams typo.
Next steps
Expose a curated semantic layer so BI tools and LLMs query consistent field names.

- What should we document alongside UTMs?
- Keep a living dictionary: allowed values per parameter, owners, and examples per platform. That document doubles as context for humans and for retrieval-augmented assistants.
