Taxon 2.2 · overview
Taxon: overview for teams
A short brief for managers and teammates who don’t live in analytics exports. What Taxon is, how a pass works, what you walk away with, and why the file never leaves the tab for cleaning.

01
Problem
Teams inherit messy event exports. The same action shows up under three names. Hand-built maps go stale the moment the next dump lands. Uploading CSVs to a SaaS cleaner is a non-starter for many analytics teams. The file stays on the machine, or the work doesn’t happen.
02
Method
Load a CSV in the browser. Taxon auto-detects seven dialects: Amplitude, Mixpanel, Heap, PostHog, GA4, Segment, and warehouse. Near-duplicates cluster with a plain why. Accept one canonical name, or keep true variants separate. The same pass runs on property keys, then on the values under each key, US, USA, and United States become one value, while ID, email, and URL keys are skipped by default. Export a pack and a reusable map. Drop next month’s file against the last pack and see what changed.
03
Outputs
A pass leaves four things you can paste into docs or reuse on the next dump:
- Cleaned listCanonical event names, property keys, and property values after you accept or keep separate.
- Markdown packPaste into Notion, PR descriptions, or taxonomy docs.
- JSON mapReusable raw→canonical map for the next dump or CLI.
- Month-N diffWhat’s new, still on pack, or silently drifted since last export.
04
Privacy
Local-first. Cleaning never uploads your CSV. Maps and Month-N history live in this browser until you export them. We only count anonymous page views, not file contents.
