Beyond the last click:
Modernizing commission logic for the machine-mediated market.
The zero-click economy is creating a multi-million dollar blind spot. For decades, performance marketing relied on a simple rule: a customer journey only begins when a link is clicked. Today, that model is broken.
With 75% of AI-powered searches ending without a traditional click, consumers are finalizing their product choices upstream via ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and high-authority editorial sites before ever visiting your store. If your tracking architecture is anchored strictly downstream, you are misallocating your budget—overpaying for the final cookie while under-rewarding the high-value creators shaping consumer decisions.
