For Institutional Catalog Buyers & Diligence Teams

    Before You Price the Catalog, Audit the Data.

    CDP identifies royalty, ownership, metadata, split, and claims issues that can hide inside music catalog acquisitions — before they become valuation risk.

    01

    Catalog value can leak through data problems that standard reviews miss.

    Unmatched works, missing claims, broken splits, ownership conflicts, duplicate registrations, and incomplete metadata rarely appear in a standard transaction review. Yet each can distort valuation, delay collections, or quietly reduce confidence in a deal. A clean-looking catalog can carry structural problems that only surface once the acquisition is complete — when remediation is slower and more costly.

    02

    Where catalog risk concentrates.

    Ownership Conflicts

    Competing or unresolved ownership claims can stall collections and undermine the value a buyer believes they are acquiring.

    Missing or Incomplete Claims

    Unregistered or partial claims leave revenue uncollected across PROs and DSPs — quietly suppressing catalog performance.

    Split and Metadata Errors

    Broken splits and inconsistent metadata distort attribution, delay payments, and reduce confidence in reported earnings.

    Unmatched or Underperforming Works

    Unmatched recordings and works fail to monetize fully, masking the true earning capacity of the catalog at the point of sale.
