Identity & scope
One family of kinds. It is where the map begins, and Consumer journey follows.
Its kinds— 4
- EntitiesAn entity is a kind of thing in the world that everything else is ultimately about: a consumer, a campaign, an asset, an event, a place, a measure. 11 entities
- Time WindowsA time window is an interval with an explicit boundary, a time basis and a stated use. It scopes validity or evaluation; it is not an open-ended calendar label. 5 time windows
- GeographiesA geography is a market or place carrying a durable geographic reference. It scopes eligibility or delivery; it is not a free-text location. 1 geography
- Identity LevelsAn identity level is how far an instrument resolves the person behind what it observes: whether it cannot tell one person from another, can tell them apart without knowing who they are, or knows who they are. It is the instrument's, never the event's; the same visit is anonymous to one instrument and pseudonymous to another. 3 identity levels
