Are my UTMs consistent so I can trust channel conversion data?

I'm struggling to maintain consistent UTM tracking across my marketing campaigns, and I'm worried that inconsistent parameters might be skewing my conversion data. Every team member seems to have a different approach to creating UTM tags, which makes it challenging to accurately attribute traffic sources, understand campaign performance, and make data-driven marketing decisions. I need a systematic way to ensure our UTM parameters are standardized, reliable, and provide meaningful insights into our marketing efforts.
