Definition
A CDP sits between your app and your downstream analytics tools. You send events to the CDP once, and it forwards them to PostHog, Mixpanel, Amplitude, your warehouse, your CRM, and so on. The point is to instrument once and route everywhere.
Where Skene fits
Skene reads the calls into the CDP - typically `analytics.track(...)` for Segment, `rudderanalytics.track(...)` for RudderStack. The CDP's downstream fan-out does not change the validation problem: if the call into the CDP breaks, every destination breaks at once.
