normalises
Brings to baseline
Normalises is the British spelling of normalizes, meaning to make something standard, typical, or accepted.
When society normalises a practice, it shifts from unusual to ordinary: Social media has normalised sharing personal details with strangers.
In technical contexts, normalising data means adjusting values to a common scale.
