Otari Radar is a music rights-risk audit platform for released tracks.
It turns a public music link into a readable audit summary that helps reviewers understand:
- what public metadata supports the track,
- what rights information is missing,
- what still needs manual confirmation,
- and what documents may be required before stronger clearance review.
Otari Radar does not prove ownership, does not register rights, and does not replace legal clearance.
Released music can look complete on the surface while the rights picture is still fragmented.
A track may already have a title, artist, album, artwork, duration, public link, and recording identifiers.
But the review can still be blocked by missing or unclear information around:
- writers and composers,
- publisher administration,
- ownership or authority signals,
- work identifiers,
- related catalog versions,
- required rights documents.
Otari Radar reviews public metadata signals and organizes them into a readable rights-risk report.
| Area | What It Helps Identify |
|---|---|
| Track Identity | Released track, artist, album, artwork, duration, public link, and identifiers |
| Recording Metadata | Whether public recording metadata supports the reviewed track |
| Credits & Contributors | Writers, composers, performers, producers, technical roles, and business references |
| Rights Review | Missing composition, publisher, ownership, or authority data |
| Catalog Context | Related versions, remixes, covers, weak matches, and catalog notes |
| Data Quality | Completeness, confidence, warnings, and limitations |
| Actions & Documents | Required documents, blockers, key findings, and next action |
The audit response is structured so a reviewer can quickly answer:
- What track is being reviewed?
- What public data supports it?
- What information is missing?
- What still needs confirmation?
- What documents may be required?
- What action should happen next?
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Decision | Rights review required |
| Risk Level | Moderate |
| Readiness Score | 33 |
| Track Identity | Partially supported |
| Recording Metadata | Supported |
| Composition Status | Review required |
| Publisher Status | Needs confirmation |
| Ownership Status | Not confirmed |
| Next Action | Request missing rights documents |
| Step | Layer | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input Review | Start from a public released track link |
| 2 | Identity Resolution | Identify the track being reviewed |
| 3 | Metadata Analysis | Check whether public metadata supports the track identity |
| 4 | Credits Mapping | Organize contributors and roles |
| 5 | Rights Gap Review | Highlight missing publishing, ownership, or authority data |
| 6 | Catalog Context | Review related versions without treating them as automatic conflicts |
| 7 | Decision Guard | Prevent weak signals from being treated as final clearance |
| 8 | Readable Report | Produce decision, risk level, blockers, documents, and next action |
| Question | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Is the released track identity supported? | Helps confirm whether the reviewed track matches the intended public release |
| Is recording metadata consistent enough for review? | Separates stronger metadata signals from weak or incomplete signals |
| Are writer or contributor details incomplete? | Reveals gaps that may affect publishing and rights administration |
| Does publisher information need confirmation? | Prevents weak references from being treated as confirmed rights data |
| Is ownership or administration authority missing? | Shows whether manual documentation is still required |
| Are related versions present? | Helps review remixes, covers, sped-up versions, or weak matches as catalog context |
| What documents are needed before clearance? | Converts rights gaps into practical next actions |

Otari Radar is a rights-risk review tool.
It can help organize public metadata, highlight missing information, and guide manual review.
It does not prove ownership, does not register rights, and does not replace legal clearance.
Final clearance still requires confirmation from the relevant rights holders, publishers, administrators, labels, or official authority sources.
