SoundDeal

SoundDeal analyzes music industry contracts and benchmarks them against real negotiated deals. It can check whether a term is at, above, or below market, explain contract vocabulary in plain English, analyze a contract end to end, and draft a negotiation brief argued from your side of the table.

Three tools need no account. get_deal_benchmarks returns percentile bands for advances, royalty rates, producer points, splits, term length and recoupment across eleven deal types, each figure carrying its sample size and the date it was computed. list_deal_types and explain_deal_term cover the taxonomy and the vocabulary.

Four more work on your own contracts once you connect your SoundDeal account. analyze_deal returns a deal health score, the extracted financial terms, severity-rated red flags, suggested redline language, and the clauses that are missing. generate_negotiation_brief turns an analysis into a prioritized strategy. get_analysis and list_analyses read what you have already run.

Permissions are granular: you can grant market benchmarks only, reading your analyses, or analyzing new ones, and disconnect at any time. Analyses run this way use the same plan allowance as the website, and the contracts are not added to SoundDeal's aggregate benchmark data.

Informational only. It supplements a qualified music attorney rather than replacing one.
