| name | recoup-catalog-estimate-value |
| description | Estimate a catalog, album, or song's value from public streaming data alone — no seller files or data room required. Use for "what's this catalog worth from public data", "ballpark this catalog", or "estimate the value of [album/song]". Wider error bars than a seller-file valuation; states its assumptions. For full diligence on a real data room use recoup-catalog-review-deal. |
Recoup Catalog — Estimate Value
Value a catalog/album/recording from public/streaming data alone — the clean-room
cousin of a full valuation. Deterministic scripts ship in scripts/ (invoke
relatively); methodology + API contract in references/.
Procedure
python3 scripts/fetch_album_tracks.py — pull the catalog from public sources.python3 scripts/estimate.py — estimate streams→revenue→value per
references/methodology.md (uses references/recoup-api.md).python3 scripts/build_report.py — assemble the estimate report (needs
pip3 install matplotlib reportlab).
Be explicit that this is a public-data estimate (wider error bars than a
seller-file valuation), and state the assumptions. For a real data room with seller
files, use recoup-catalog-review-deal instead.
Guardrails
- estimate ≠ valuation — public-data estimates carry wider error bars; say so.
- State assumptions — never present an estimate as an audited valuation.
