What is Attribution Clarity?

Senso records linked citations and their tiers. Grading partial and named-only attribution is not something this API classifies.

Attribution Clarity grades the spectrum from full attribution — a linked citation carrying the publication name, article title and date — down to partial attribution, where only the name appears.

It matters because a citation that names you without linking you is worth measurably less than one that does, and the IAB requires providers to disclose how they classify the levels between.

Senso records the cited URL and its tier for every citation, which is the linked end of that spectrum. Implied citations, where an answer clearly draws on a source without saying so, are excluded by the IAB definition because no provider can detect them consistently.
