The 5-Day Contract Sovereignty Audit

Deconstruct contract language, protect master reversions, and secure publishing assets.

An intensive five-day operational framework to audit existing distribution agreements, identify predatory clauses, and prepare an airtight negotiation term sheet.

The plan, day by day

1. Day 1Clause Extraction. Assemble your current distribution or label agreements. Locate sections governing Term, Territory, Grant of Rights, and Accounting Deductions.
2. Day 2AI Clause Diagnostic. Utilize an advanced language model using prompts from AI for Musicians to identify ambiguous accounting terms, hidden distribution fee structures, and passive 360 provisions.
3. Day 3Publishing Isolation Check. Verify through your PRO and mechanical rights portals that your publishing catalog remains wholly distinct from your master distribution accounts, as instructed in Publishing Simplified.
4. Day 4The Emotional Value Inventory. Complete the gut-check exercise from the Emotional Resonance guide. Contrast the emotional and financial worth of your life's work against the cash advance on offer.
5. Day 5Term Sheet Construction. Draft an executive negotiation checklist specifying your non-negotiables: license duration, audit trigger thresholds, and exact reversion dates.
