    People recommend places, people and things constantly, and almost none of it is measured or paid for. Existing affiliate, influencer and loyalty programs capture less than 1% of the roughly $6T word-of-mouth recommendation economy. The recommendation economy is that activity made visible: when a recommendation results in a real transaction, a fee clears and splits across everyone who built the connection.
