Rights Readiness Checklist

The Tunecache Rights Readiness Checklist helps artists, producers, catalog owners and rights holders organize what they know about a music asset—and identify what still needs to be confirmed before it is presented for licensing.

Use the checklist to review:

• Song and recording identification
• Writers, composers and ownership splits
• Publishers and administrators
• Master ownership and label control
• PRO, CMO and registration information
• ISWC and ISRC identifiers
• Samples, interpolations and third-party material
• Featured artists, producers and performers
• Available licensing contacts
• Clean versions, instrumentals, stems and lyrics
• One-stop claims and signing authority
• Conflicts, missing information and required follow-up

The checklist creates a practical starting point for determining whether an asset is organized, licensable and ready for professional verification.
