Description

We construct specialized attribution models and tracking pipelines for AI-assisted traffic (AI Attribution). We pinpoint traffic originating from conversational engines and agents with surgical accuracy, tracking user journeys through to conversion, opportunity close, and recurring revenue generation.

As a specialized capability, AI Traffic Measurement provides a focused approach to the technical and strategic requirements of the AI Attribution domain. We design custom operational protocols, implement rigorous validation, and give the organization full control over this critical factor to secure a sustainable competitive advantage across the language model and generative AI ecosystem.
