How does an identity graph handle anonymous-to-known users?

The graph holds a customer's identifier history regardless of whether they're logged in. While they're anonymous, browser cookies and device IDs build up against an anonymous node. When they sign up, log in, or complete a form, the new identifier joins that same node, and every prior session retroactively becomes known activity. The earlier the graph runs in your data flow, the sooner that retroactive stitch is available to downstream systems that need the full customer journey.
