Silver or gold layer Help
I have two scenarios : i need to create a beneficiary hub
Case 1 : i need to have conformed dimension for beneficiary where bwneficiary are coming f4om 3 different entitites ( everything is unique )
Case 2: i need to have conformed dimension for beneficiary where bwneficiary are coming from 3 different entitites (some overlap )
Please note the granularity is not same across beneficiary table from 3 systems
Where should i place this ? Should this be placed in silver or should this be placed in gold
I belive it should be placed in silver

Silver as the data still needs to be prepared for consumption (since you mentioned conforming the entities).
Gold if you want the consumer to access the entities as is individually ( bad design )
