  "answer": "Startups in the supply chain transparency space measure AI traffic attribution by shifting focus from direct referral clicks to citation intelligence and answer engine monitoring. Because AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity often synthesize information without providing direct links, teams must use tools like Trakkr to track how their brand is cited and described in generated responses. This involves monitoring specific prompt sets to ensure the brand appears in relevant industry queries, benchmarking share of voice against competitors, and auditing technical crawler accessibility to ensure content is correctly indexed by AI models for future retrieval.",
