- **Organization normalization** — We resolve different names for the same organization (e.g., "Google LLC", "Google Inc.", "Alphabet") into a canonical entity.
- **Historical tracking** — We maintain affiliation history so that past contributions are attributed to the correct organization at the time they were made.

For more details on how we handle data quality across the platform, see [Data Quality](/docs/introduction/data-quality/index.md).
