Catalog Audit

Our mission is to help creators stop losing money due to incomplete metadata, unregistered songs, and missing royalty infrastructure while allowing artists to maintain 100% ownership of their copyrights.
Black Box Check does not take ownership of copyrights or masters. Artists retain full ownership and control of their intellectual property.
We perform a deep forensic review of catalog registrations and royalty pipelines.
Royalty Recovery (Contingency)
Millions of dollars in music royalties remain unmatched, unregistered, or unclaimed because publishing data is incomplete, missing, or never properly set up. Missing infrastructure creates lost revenue opportunities.
Black Box Check operates on a revenue model combined with performance-based royalty collection participation. Black Box Check does not take ownership of copyrights or masters. Artists retain full ownership and control of their intellectual property.
If black box royalties are discovered and recovered we take a percentage.
No recovery = no contingency fee
