embedding the first tracer within the first production fluid responsive to the first production fluid flowing from the inlet to the outlet;

positioning a second cartridge at a different stage of the well, the second cartridge including a second tracer having a second unique identifier, wherein the second tracer is embedded within second production fluid responsive to the second production fluid flowing through the second cartridge;

combining the first production fluid and the second production fluid within an inner diameter of a tool.
