Tracked Position
A tracked position is one keyword tracked in one country — the unit most rank-tracking pricing is actually built on.
It's easy to undercount: 50 keywords tracked across 3 countries isn't 50 tracked positions, it's 150, since each country is checked and counted separately.
This is the industry-standard unit for a reason — the cost of tracking scales with country coverage as much as keyword count, so pricing built on positions reflects the real cost more accurately than pricing on keywords alone.
