The 5-Day Rights and Royalty Lockdown

Audit, register, and secure your music catalog infrastructure.

Implement institutional-grade rights governance across your current catalog. Verify that all collection pipelines are open and protected under your one-page plan.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Audit your core catalog assets. Verify that every collaborator has signed a standardized split sheet for both composition and master recordings.
  2. Day 2Run your metadata documentation through an AI administrative workflow from AI for Musicians to check for missing ISRC, ISWC, and contributor credits.
  3. Day 3Evaluate your top three tracks for sync readiness, conducting an emotional resonance audit to tag their precise narrative moods for music supervisors.
  4. Day 4Log into your PRO, The MLC, and SoundExchange accounts. Reconcile work registrations against your master catalogue spreadsheet.
  5. Day 5Formalize the publishing and administration policy section of your one-page artist business plan, committing to zero unregistered releases.
