How It Works

1

Ingest & Goals

Provide the track (or demo) + intended markets, comps, and constraints (label, timeline).

2

Score & Rank

We score vocal fit, tonal/tempo match, lyric themes, audience overlap, and momentum; then rank candidates.

3

Forecast & Plan

We project ROI delta vs. baseline and attach outreach notes + next-best actions.

What’s in the Report

  • Top 5–10 Artists with fit scores and driver bullets.
  • Projected Lift (streams/downloads/revenue) with ± ranges.
  • Audience & Brand Fit notes: tone, persona, demographic alignment.
  • Outreach Notes to accelerate A&R conversations.

Data Signals We Consider

  • Vocal range/texture vs. track’s lead line profile.
  • Tonal center, tempo, energy curve, first-hook timing.
  • Lyric theme vectors & sentiment vs. artist catalog.
  • Audience overlap, region skew, and recent momentum.

Example Output (Illustrative)

Track (Example) Top-Fit Artist Fit Rationale Projected ROI Delta
“Neon River” Artist X (Country-Pop) Vocal belt range match; 92 BPM uptempo; chorus title repetition aligns with current top-quartile. +14–28% 60-day streams
“Static & Sparks” Artist Y (Alt-Rock) Timbre/energy curve alignment; bridge room for signature guitar motif; audience overlap +1.9×. +9–16% revenue (gross)
“Gold in the Gray” Artist Z (Indie-Folk) Lyric sentiment/theme vector match; first-hook timing improved at :40 (SongLab™ edit). +10–22% save/stream

Illustrative only. Real candidates and deltas vary by genre, catalog maturity, and campaign inputs.

Typical Outcomes

  • Shorter A&R cycles — tighter shortlists with rationale.
  • Higher acceptance rate — better artist fit & brand alignment.
  • Clearer ROI cases for cut/feature decisions.

Important Notes

  • Forecasts include error bands; they’re estimates, not guarantees.
  • Fit scoring is directional; creative intent and availability matter.
  • Best results when paired with NRPI™ and SongLab™ edits.
