statements read in
for every distributor and service
the sales and usage reports the services send (DDEX calls the format DSR) loaded into one place, not retyped.
- one place for every statement
your royalty statements, read in rather than retyped.
we build royalty and splits dashboards for labels and publishers: the statements your distributors and streaming services send are read in rather than retyped, your deal terms are written down once and applied every period, and each artist or partner sees only what they should. we build the ledger to your terms; we do not administer rights, audit a distributor or sign off the numbers.
built to your deal terms, from the statements you already receive.

Burn County
a label platform: one operator, three properties, one build.
- the studio, the music brand and the marketing arm, each on its own property.
- one storefront and one customer list under all three.
- the catalog behind it carries nine Billboard top tens and an RIAA gold record, the client's credits.

how it runs.
diagnostic
most engagements start with a paid diagnostic: one week, a fixed fee, credited in full against the build if you go ahead within 90 days. it produces the written scope, and you keep that document either way.scope
the scope fixes what gets built, the number and the ship date, in writing, before anything is built. the number is set by what the catalog and the roster actually need, not by a tier picked off a page.build
the build follows the scope. the parts most agencies skip are scoped in on purpose: the licence terms written per sale, what happens to a property when an artist leaves the roster, and who sees which royalty numbers.launch and transfer
at launch the code, the domains, the merchant account, the customer list and the analytics move into your name. no licence to renew and no monthly fee on the platform itself.after launch
your team edits copy, prices, art and releases from a dashboard at no monthly cost. or keep the studio on a retainer for continuous engineering, billed monthly, cancellable any month.
