Arbitration Data Providers
Zobooma verifies contract outcomes using trusted third-party APIs. This page explains which providers we rely on, what metrics we read, and how those metrics map to payouts.
1. Overview
For each contract type, Zobooma uses external APIs to check whether the agreed goal was achieved and sustained. These APIs are operated by independent companies. Zobooma does not control their results; we simply read their metrics and apply your contract's payout rules.
2. Providers by contract type
SerpAPIKeyword & rank contracts
- Used for: Google Organic, Google Local, Amazon, YouTube ranking contracts.
- Primary metrics:

OpenRouterAI visibility contracts
- Used for: “AI Visibility” / AI Mode contracts.
- Primary signal: whether the chosen model (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) mentions the target domain when answering the contract's query.
- Goal example: “ChatGPT mentions our domain in the answer for a specific query, and continues to do so through the sustainment period.”

3. How metrics map to payout
Each contract explicitly defines a target metric (rank, DR/PA, or AI visibility) and a sustainment period. Zobooma checks the relevant API on a schedule (e.g., daily for rank and AI visibility, weekly for authority), logs snapshots, and releases funds only when:
- The target metric meets or exceeds the goal; and
- The result has remained at or above the goal for the full sustainment period defined in the contract.
4. Where to review this in your contract
Before accepting or funding a contract, you'll see:
- A summary of the goal and payout.
- The arbiter name (SerpAPI, Moz, or OpenRouter) used for verification.
- The sustainment period and payout conditions.
