Segment Automation in Durham
Enforcing data quality automatically in Durham organisations' event pipeline. Left to convention, tracking plans decay — a developer ships an event with a slightly different name or a missing property, nothing rejects it, and the discrepancy is found weeks later by an analyst who cannot explain a chart.
Why this comes up
The problem
Event tracking was defined carefully and has drifted, with variations of the same event and properties that are sometimes present and sometimes not.
What you get
What we deliver
- The tracking plan expressed as a schema the pipeline can actually check against
- Violations reported to the team that produced them rather than to nobody
- Blocking applied where a malformed event should not reach destinations at all
- Personal data rules enforced, preventing fields being sent where they should not
- Schema changes routed through review, since these affect every downstream tool
- Alerting on volume anomalies, because events silently stopping is common

Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.

Segment Automation in Durham — common questions
- Why does tracking drift?
- Because nothing stops it. A tracking plan in a document is a suggestion, and a developer under deadline ships what seems reasonable. Checking events against a schema in the pipeline turns the plan from a shared intention into something that actually holds.
- Should bad events be blocked or just flagged?
- It depends on the destination. Blocking keeps warehouses and analytics clean and risks losing data you cannot recover; flagging preserves everything and lets the problem persist. Most organisations block for a few critical events and report on the rest.
- Can it prevent personal data leaking?
- To a useful degree. Rules that reject events carrying fields which should never leave — full card details, health information, free-text notes — catch the accidental inclusion that happens when someone adds a property without thinking about where it goes.
- What should trigger an alert?
- Events stopping, more than events being wrong. A tracking call removed in a release produces silence rather than an error, and the first sign is usually a report looking odd a fortnight later. Volume alerting catches it within a day.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
