The Syncpoint Method
One line from business question to event payload
A collaborative process that keeps every definition anchored to a decision, a real customer behaviour, and a clear owner.
Map your first journey
01Decision framing
Begin with what should change
We gather product, marketing, commercial, and operational questions, then test whether each answer would lead to a concrete action. This keeps the taxonomy focused on use—not collection volume.
- Stakeholder interviews
- Decision inventory
- Metric and journey alignment
02Behaviour mapping
Trace the moments that explain the outcome
We map meaningful user and system behaviours across the selected journeys, including identity changes, error states, and important context.
- Journey workshop
- Behaviour-to-question map
- Coverage priorities
03Definition design
Make each event unambiguous
Every event receives a name, business definition, exact trigger, required properties, expected values, source, and owner. Naming and property rules make future additions predictable.
- Event dictionary
- Property specifications
- Governance conventions
04Technical validation
Resolve ambiguity before implementation
Engineering and data stakeholders review feasibility, identity, timing, privacy, and edge cases. We revise the plan until it is precise enough to build and test.
- Feasibility review
- Payload examples
- Analytics QA scenarios
The handover
A living operating document, not a workshop souvenir
Your team receives a prioritised tracking plan, a decision map, naming rules, implementation notes, test scenarios, and a change workflow. We close with an ownership session so the taxonomy stays healthy after launch.
Definition quality checkEach event answers six things- Why it exists
- When it fires
- Who or what triggers it
- Which context travels with it
- Who owns its quality
- How it will be tested
