What the catalog is worth.
What the deal actually says.

A catalog valuation and a deal read with every assumption shown, filed to the project as documents your team can send to a manager or a lawyer.

For Label marketing teams · Management companies · Distributors

Where it starts

The offer is on the table. The numbers are in a screenshot.

Where your team starts

The catalog's public streams, and a term sheet.

Which songs, how many streams, how they are trending. The deal terms and the real payout rate tighten the read.

What Symphony does

A projection and a deal read, assumptions next to every number.

Per-song streams, a stated per-stream rate and a decay curve. For the deal: advance, recoupment, royalty, splits, term, and the clauses that decide the outcome.

What your team reviews

The rate, the assumptions, and what to push back on.

Change the rate or the decay and the projection moves. Maude flags the clauses that move the money; your team and the lawyer decide what to push back on.

How your team starts it

Send the screenshot. Or the contract.

Send the screenshot or the PDF from Home or the artist's project. Maude files a twelve-month projection or models the deal over its term, with the assumptions alongside.

Hands-on, in the workspace

  1. 01Send Maude the screenshot or the PDF.
  2. 02Add the real payout rate if you have it.
  3. 03Change the rate or decay and watch the projection move.

Next time

"What would the next single make?" She answers in the artist's split, because she has read the deal.

[Spotify for Artists screenshot] What is this catalog worth over the next year?
Six songs, most of the streams on one lead single. The twelve-month projection is filed with its assumptions. Do you have the actual payout rate? It would tighten this.
Not on me. Model it against the offer in the PDF.
A recoupable advance, a net split, and a merch clause that moves the money most. The projection shows when the advance recoups and what reaches the artist in year one.

What Symphony does

Reads the money before anyone signs.

01

Values the catalog

Per-song streams, a stated rate, a decay curve per release. Every assumption is visible and editable.

02

Models the deal

What the artist keeps, when the deal recoups, and what happens if the record does half or double.

03

Flags the clauses

The three or four lines that decide the outcome, in plain language. For the lawyer, not instead of one.

What your team gets back

A statement before anyone signs.

A projection and a deal read, filed to the project as documents your team can send. Every number has its assumption next to it.
