Moat · Agent-Graph Flywheel

Every routed request makes the next one smarter.

The Flywheel
Crawl → Render → Attribute → Learn. Closes a loop no incumbent has.
CRAWL classify UA + TLS RENDER agent variant ATTRIBUTE cite → refer → buy LEARN label graph AGENT GRAPH
Classifier compounds
Every new agent UA seen on 1 customer instantly upgrades classification across all.
Closes the loop
Crawl → citation → AI referral → conversion. Incumbents block bots — we monetize them.
First-mover on operator class
3-way classification (h/c/op) shipped. Competitors still 2-way.
Attribution = switching cost
Once routed through AEO, citation lineage lives with us. Migrating breaks the funnel.
