Why this is canonical

'Attribution economy' names the system-level outcome when attribution is reliably enforced — creators get paid, AI models account for training data, channels receive accurate credit, and economic value routes correctly. The singular 'economy' (vs. 'economics') signals a system or marketplace rather than an academic discipline, making this the product/platform-facing version of the concept.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Creator-economy attribution marketplace
The economic system where creators are compensated based on traceable attribution of their work's influence on AI outputs and derivative content.
Creator-economy platforms, training-data licensing marketplaces, AI compensation infrastructure
Marketing attribution economy
The economic system built on accurate multi-touch credit — where marketing spend routes to the channels and content that actually drove outcomes.
MarTech platforms, agency-side analytics, growth-attribution infrastructure

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
