Why this is canonical

The plural 'rails' connotes a system of infrastructure — multiple connected conduits, a network effect, a foundation others build on. It is the word developers and infrastructure companies reach for when naming the underlying layer (cf. Stripe Rails, ActionMailer Rails). Applied to attribution, it names the connective infrastructure a whole ecosystem depends on.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Developer infrastructure and SDK
Attribution rails as the developer-facing SDK or library — the composable infrastructure piece any team drops into their stack to send and receive attribution.
Developer-tools companies, infrastructure SDK builders
Ecosystem and marketplace
The attribution rails for an ecosystem of publishers, affiliates, or partners — the shared infrastructure everyone uses to settle credit.
Marketplace platforms, affiliate networks, partner ecosystem infrastructure
