# 2.4 Trackers

Understand TickerTrends trackers and their directional alternative-data research metrics.

## Trackers

Trackers organize selected alternative-data inputs into directional research metrics. They can support analysis of attention, digital activity, adoption, and other operating context.

Trackers may be observed, indexed, estimated, transformed, or modeled. They are proxies, not direct views of private operations or reported KPIs.

Availability and cadence vary by tracker and entitlement. Review definitions and limitations before use.
