MARKET RESEARCH

Analyst Coinage Attribution Tracker

On demand, traces a given emerging term back to who coined it and when, builds a provenance timeline with Exa and Brave, and records it in an Airtable source-of-truth.

What it does

Given a term you submit, it reconstructs the term's origin story: who used it first, which analyst firm or vendor amplified it, and how usage spread over time. It assembles a dated provenance timeline from Exa neural search and Brave results and stores a structured record in Airtable so your team has an attributable history, not just a definition.

When to use it

Use it before citing a category term in a deck, analyst briefing, or launch — when you need to know whether a phrase is a Gartner coinage, a competitor's invention, or genuinely neutral, and avoid amplifying a rival's framing by accident.

How it works

  1. 1You trigger the run manually with the term to investigate.
  2. 2Exa runs a recency-sorted neural search to find earliest credible usages.
  3. 3Brave Search adds news and mainstream coverage for spread and adoption.
  4. 4OpenAI orders the evidence into a dated provenance timeline and names the likely originator.
  5. 5A logic step assigns an attribution confidence level from the source agreement.
  6. 6The structured record and timeline are written to an Airtable base.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1

  2. 2
    Connect Brave SearchWeb, news, image, video search.
  3. 3
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  4. 4
    Connect AirtableBases, tables, views, automations.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
