Ask the chat how a part of the music industry works and get an interactive isometric map of it, with the number that matters and a link from every player to the Aden feature that handles it.

## What it is [#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 [#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.
