+## Validation & Adaptation
+
+`eventkit` uses a two-tier architecture for transforming raw events into typed, validated events:
+
+### Validators
+
+Composable validators perform lightweight checks on raw event payloads:
+
+```python
+from eventkit.adapters.validators import (
+    ValidationPipeline,
+    RequiredFieldsValidator,
+    TypeCheckValidator,
+    TimestampValidator,
+)
+
+# Build custom validation pipeline
+pipeline = ValidationPipeline([
+    RequiredFieldsValidator(["type", "userId"]),
+    TypeCheckValidator({"type": str, "userId": str}),
+    TimestampValidator(),
+])
+
+is_valid, error = pipeline.validate({"type": "identify", "userId": "123"})
+```
+
+**Built-in Validators:**
+- `RequiredFieldsValidator` - Ensure required fields are present
+- `TypeCheckValidator` - Validate field types (supports union types)
+- `TimestampValidator` - Parse ISO 8601 and Unix timestamps
+- `ValidationPipeline` - Compose validators with fail-fast behavior
+
+### Adapters
+
+Schema adapters transform validated `RawEvent` → typed `TypedEvent`:
+
+```python
+from eventkit.adapters import SegmentSchemaAdapter
+from eventkit.schema.raw import RawEvent
+
+adapter = SegmentSchemaAdapter()
+raw = RawEvent(payload={"type": "identify", "userId": "123"})
+result = adapter.adapt(raw)
+
+if result.ok:
+    event = result.event  # IdentifyEvent | TrackEvent | PageEvent
+else:
+    error = result.error  # Route to dead letter queue
+```
+
+**Built-in Adapters:**
+- `SegmentSchemaAdapter` - Segment-compatible event spec (identify/track/page)
+
+**Future Adapters:**
+- `CustomSchemaAdapter` - Dynamic per-account schemas (in `eventkit-schema` package)
+- `SnowplowAdapter` - Snowplow event format
+- `AmplitudeAdapter` - Amplitude HTTP API format

+
+#### Notes
+**Naming**: Uses `SegmentSchemaAdapter` (not `SegmentAdapter`) to distinguish from format adapters. This is a **schema adapter** that applies the Segment spec rules.
+
+**ValidationPipeline**: Composable validator chain that can be reused. The factory method `ValidationPipeline.for_segment_spec()` creates a fixed pipeline for Segment compatibility. Future `CustomSchemaAdapter` will use `ValidationPipeline.from_schema(account_schema)` for dynamic validation.
+
+**Two-Tier Architecture**:
+1. **Format Adapters** (future): Parse raw formats (JSON, Avro, etc.) to `RawEvent`
+2. **Schema Adapters** (now): Apply schema rules to `RawEvent` → `TypedEvent`
+
+This separation enables future `eventkit-schema` package integration without breaking changes.
 
 #### Notes
 - Named `SegmentSchemaAdapter` to clarify it applies a fixed schema (Segment spec)
