    We’re building a blended model where we are combining AI visibility and CRM revenue. Basically, if we show up in tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity, we tag that as influence, then track pipeline velocity and deal close rates. It’s less about last-click now and more about ‘did ai touch this journey’. Not perfect, but leadership cares more about pipeline than traffic anyway.
