State the decision
Name the feature and the specific decision the analytics should support — not just 'understand usage'.
DECISION-LINKED TRACKING PLAN
Turn a feature's tracking plan into a decision-linked requirement instead of a pile of 'track everything' events nobody will ever query.
Planning guidance only. Validate important decisions with customer evidence and your delivery team.

Short, generic statements like 'see how it's used' don't specify what you'll actually do with the data. A strong statement names the call (keep/expand/sunset) and the threshold that triggers it.
Every event has an implementation and maintenance cost. Tracking 30 events for a vague decision usually means most of them will never be queried — that's noise, not insight.
Decision clarity (word count plus presence of a decision verb like 'decide' or 'sunset') earns up to 60 points; event count is scored against a cap set by that clarity, up to 40 points. It's transparent arithmetic, not a hidden model.
It works best for features about to ship, where you're defining the tracking plan before implementation — but you can also use it to audit an existing feature's event list.
Rewrite the decision statement to be specific first, then cut your event list down to only what that decision needs.

Notion and Sheets can hold a tracking plan document, but neither checks whether your event list is proportionate to the decision it's meant to support.
