Music intelligence Primary Wave MusicVerified · 2026-10-22
178 artists, verified one by one against the live directory, and not one documented publishing or master right among them.
The reference implementation of SPEC §22. Corporate and artist intelligence are populated from 178 profiles and 802 news posts. Music asset, rights and commercial intelligence have no source data, so those figures read zero — because zero is what the evidence supports, not because something is missing.

The roster
All 178 artists →Every artist listed in the Primary Wave directory, with the photograph and biography the company publishes. Shown here by how much the archive covers them. A listing is an association with the company — it is not a claim that Primary Wave owns or administers any of their work.
Coverage of the roster
Directory extraction is the one measure whose universe is established, because the live directory was enumerated exhaustively and matched this dataset exactly. Every other measure says universe unknown rather than showing a percentage of an unknown total.

Assets, by SPEC §22 category
These four datasets are different kinds of thing and are never combined into a single verified ownership count. The 6,409 category C assets are recordings observed in Spotify playlists embedded on artist pages: they evidence association with an artist, and no ownership of anything.
| Cat | Dataset | Assets | What the count means |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Confirmed publishing assets | 0 | Compositions with documented Primary Wave ownership or administration. |
| B | Confirmed master recording assets | 0 | Recordings with documented Primary Wave master ownership or control. |
| C | Artist-associated repertoire | 6,409 | Associated with a Primary Wave artist, with no verified ownership of anything. |
| D | Unverified candidate assets | 0 | Possible catalogue assets that require further evidence. |
What this dashboard cannot tell you
The supplied dataset documents no publishing or master ownership of any composition or recording, and no catalogue, acquisition or financial record. Rights, catalogue and commercial intelligence are therefore empty by measurement, not by oversight — and every table behind them exists, with its constraints, waiting on a source.

A dash means not measured; a zero means measured and found to be none. The distinction is deliberate and is kept everywhere on this site.
