Why Show Accuracy Publicly?

Instant legitimacy

Stakeholders see accuracy, variance, and metrics — not buzzwords.

Creates a benchmark

Measured superiority, not perfection. It makes the ±20% claim believable.

Visual differentiation

Everyone says “AI-powered.” Few show predictive precision. We do.

Investor talking point

Anchor for every deck: “Here’s the industry. Here’s us.”

Methodology & Data

Backtests & Cohorts

  • Window: 60-day post-release metrics across streams, downloads, virality, and revenue.
  • Scope: 120+ tracks (2022–2025), multiple genres, indie + label releases.
  • Split: train/validation/test with time-based holdouts to avoid leakage.
  • Metric: mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) bands expressed as ± ranges.

Signals & Features

  • Audio: tempo, key, timbre, energy, structure markers, vocal traits.
  • Text: lyric semantics, theme vectors, sentiment, density.
  • Audience: pre-save, save/stream, cohort growth, region skew.
  • Context: release timing, artist history, comp sets, promo intensity.

Model Stack & Explainability

Hybrid AI + Statistical Models

We blend modern ML (embedding models for audio/lyrics) with robust baselines and ensemble methods. “AI-powered” is the toolset; precision is the outcome.

Feature Attribution

Per-prediction explanations identify the top contributing signals so A&R and finance can act on what actually moves the forecast.

Governance

Versioned models, audit logs of changes, and cohort monitoring keep variance stable across genres and time.

Privacy, Rights & Security

Data Use

Customer retains rights to audio, lyrics, and metadata. We use data only to provide services and improve models under contract. We do not sell or share PII.

Operational Security

Access controls, least-privilege principles, and environment isolation. Production data is restricted to authorized personnel for support and monitoring.
