Standard link tracking undercounts creators because their influence leaks out of the trackable path in three ways: dark social (links shared in DMs, texts, or group chats arrive with tracking parameters stripped), multi-platform promotion that scatters signal across Stories, YouTube, TikTok, and podcasts, and off-platform conversion when a viewer sees a recommendation, leaves, and searches for the product independently days later. AI narrows these gaps rather than pretending to close them — using code and link pattern analysis, referred-traffic correlation that ties spikes to campaign timing, image recognition to spot product placements in visuals, and multi-touch attribution that assigns fractional credit across the path instead of everything to the last click. With better data you can compute honest ROI by setting fractional-attribution revenue against all costs per partnership.
