Field guide / measurement

Start with the decision a team needs to make. An event without a defined use becomes maintenance work without clear value.

## A practical sequence

- List business questions and the smallest observable actions needed to answer them. Avoid logging every interaction by default.

- Specify an event name, trigger, allowed parameters and owner. Define data types and avoid free text or unnecessary personal information.

- Record destination systems and deduplication rules. State what should happen when delivery fails or a browser blocks collection.

- Attach test cases and an acceptance record. Version the map when the product or reporting question changes.

### Take this into the brief

```text
Question / Event / Trigger / Allowed parameters / Owner / Destination / Deduplication / Test result
```

## The decision to take away

A compact tested map is more maintainable than a large event inventory with no agreed interpretation.
