Maude handles business affairs and catalog analysis for your team. She reads royalty statements, splits, and sync placements, then runs the numbers forward: sales projections, revenue forecasts, and the reporting a label meeting would ask for. Every read links its sources, writes out its assumptions, and goes to your team for review, in plain English.
Included with Pro, $49 per artist per month, and with Advanced. Start free with 150 credits.
§ 01 · The work
Royalty data sits in distributor portals, label PDFs, and publisher exports, each in its own format. Statements are written for the platforms, not for the people whose music funds them. Checking them line by line, across every artist, takes time most teams would rather spend elsewhere, and income from a place an artist is owed is easy to miss.
Music is hard. The numbers shouldn’t be.
Here is how the work runs. Your team hands Maude what it has: distributor reports, publisher and PRO statements, split sheets, dashboard screenshots. She checks each line against what the artist should be getting paid, flags the gaps, and ranks them by dollar impact. Every finding links back to the line it came from, says what she assumed, and carries a confidence level. When the evidence is thin, she says she cannot tell what caused a change instead of guessing. Your team reviews the read and decides what to act on.
§ 02 · What Maude does
01
Hand Maude whatever you have. Distributor reports, royalty statements, spreadsheets, screenshots. She checks every line against what the artist should be getting paid and flags anything that looks off, with the line it came from.
02
She checks where an artist is registered and collecting, and points to places income may be sitting uncollected. Each gap comes with her estimate and how she got it.
03
Where the money is coming from and where it is going, by platform and territory. Then a forecast of where the business is headed, with the assumptions written out so your team can check them.
04
On Advanced, Maude tracks the songs your team adds to Catalog each day and flags what moved. Days a streaming service is still reporting stay marked unconfirmed, and she names a cause only when the evidence supports one.
