MyDataWork POV — For teams juggling data from multiple clients, conforming dimensional values in the Silver layer isn't just a technical choice—it's a sanity saver. When datasets like Users and Store orders share attributes, standardizing them early streamlines downstream analytics. But if your data sources are wildly diverse, this might be overkill. Concentrate on areas where uniformity will genuinely simplify processes instead of merely increasing complexity. It's about balancing effort with the clarity you gain.
