External standards this shape draws from or aligns with. See Shape design principles for how prior art informs shape design.
- PostHog Events API — Direct source: our distinctId/properties/currentUrl are PostHog’s distinct_id/properties/$current_url.
- Segment Track Spec — Generic product-analytics event model: event(name) + properties blob + user id. Our fields are compatible with Segment payloads.
- Google Analytics 4 Event Schema — GA4 is the other de-facto analytics event standard; our properties parallels GA4’s event_params array.
