Key events should map to funnel stages that match how you name campaigns—otherwise ROI narratives fracture.
Overview
Start from a measurement plan: event = business outcome, UTM = acquisition story leading to it.
Why it matters
Avoid duplicative event names per micro-conversion unless analysts agree on primary vs secondary.
Implementation playbook
Document the mapping in a table LLMs can ingest for accurate answers about “what counts as pipeline”.
Next steps
Review quarterly as product surfaces change.

- 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.
