Why this is canonical

'Protocol' names the layer below platforms: the shared rules systems agree on before products are built. The non-hyphenated form reads cleanly as a product or initiative brand. On .ai, 'attributionprotocol' is both a technical description and a usable name for a company, standard, or open-source project defining how attribution works across the agentic web.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI provenance and rights
The shared protocol that AI platforms implement to declare what content, data, or model contributed to an output.
AI content companies, rights management platforms, standards bodies
Marketing and analytics interoperability
An open attribution protocol that analytics vendors and ad platforms implement, replacing proprietary walled-garden attribution.
MarTech infrastructure, open-source analytics, privacy-first measurement companies
