⬛ Revenue at Risk · Black Box Exposure
≈ $47,000 / year
11 of 48 works contain metadata issues that may delay, reduce, or block royalty payments. Publisher share stuck in the society "black box" because of fixable errors.
Recovery Potential
$28,000 – $42,000
Recoverable once metadata is corrected — based on historical claim recovery rates, matching completeness, and DSP usage signals.

Estimate method: avg 1,000,000 Spotify streams/work/year (Nordic indie baseline) × $0.001/stream publisher share = ≈$1,000/work/year at risk. Each metadata error removes the publisher from the payment chain until corrected — societies hold the unallocated share in the black box, typically for 2–3 years before redistribution. Actual exposure varies by territory and DSP mix.

Fix-Later Checklist

What this is: A TrapRoyaltiesPro dry-cleaning pass is a non-destructive scan of a publishing catalog. We never auto-correct ownership data — every fix is proposed and confirmed by the publisher, and each confirmed fix trains the Master Catalog for the next scan.
