Anatomy

What it is

Type $anatomy how a stream turns into a royalty in any chat, or ask a bot "how does sync licensing work", and the answer arrives as a card: an isometric map of the players (listener, DSP, distributor, label, PRO, publisher, songwriter), the money, rights, data and music moving between them, and the story in steps. On the right, the one number that matters: per stream, the sync fee, the lead time, the deal.

Each step lights the part of the map it is about. Click a player for what it does and the Aden page that handles it: set your splits, plan the release, register your works, open the sync board. When the chat knows your numbers (your streams, your splits, your release plan), the card shows them instead of industry averages.

Using it

Ask. $anatomy followed by the question, or plain language: "explain how a release gets to the stores", "what happens to the money from a show".

Step through. The arrows under the drawing move one step at a time; the dots jump to a step. The caption and the number change with it.

Open a player. Click or tab to a block. Its role and detail replace the caption, with a button to the Aden page that handles it. The x goes back to the steps.

Expand. The arrow in the top right opens the drawing large.

On the phone, the card shows the title and the number and opens the chat on the web, where the drawing is.
