Application and interview scores are recorded with the observations supporting each assessment.
MANAGEMENT PAGE 7 — DECISION METHOD
One decision, three professional reviews
Input Record combines the application, exploratory interview and operational feasibility review. The method creates consistency, but no score can replace due diligence, professional judgment or mutual trust.
Inputs Application, interview and feasibility
Result Written pathway or non-selection

WEIGHTED REVIEW
Three reviews become one result
40%Application evaluation
40%Exploratory interview
20%Feasibility & due diligence
Final result = application score × 40% + interview score × 40% + feasibility score × 20%.
Due diligence may include verification of rights, agreements, credits, public information, genuine audience data, budget assumptions and the availability of the people required for the work.
POSSIBLE OUTCOMES
80–100
Proposal pathway
Input Record may prepare a written collaboration proposal, subject to final terms.
70–79
Conditional or pilot pathway
A limited project, trial period or specific conditions may be proposed before broader management.
60–69
Development pathway
The artist may receive priorities to strengthen before a future review.
Below 60
No proposal at this stage
The project is not selected for the current management cycle.
DECISION PROCESS
How the conclusion is reached
The numerical result organizes the review. Input Record then tests whether a responsible and realistic working relationship can actually be offered.
Verify
Essential rights, agreements, credits, audience claims, budgets and project facts may be checked.
Test feasibility
Input Record reviews timing, workload, expertise, financing, network and the resources needed to deliver responsibly.
Review conflicts
Existing commitments, authority limits and possible conflicts are examined before any proposal is considered.
Choose a pathway
The project enters the proposal, pilot, development or non-selection pathway according to the complete review.
Communicate
The artist receives the outcome or next step. Only a later written proposal can define possible collaboration terms.
DECISION SAFEGUARDS
A score never replaces due diligence
A proposal may be stopped regardless of score if there are unresolved ownership disputes, false information, artificial streaming activity, abusive conduct, a conflicting agreement, undisclosed obligations, illegal activity or a serious breakdown of trust.
Input Record may also decline when the project is strong but the required expertise, time, financing or network is not currently available. This is a capacity decision, not necessarily a judgment on the artist’s talent.
There is no application or exploratory-interview fee. Future costs, commissions, service fees, revenue shares or reimbursable expenses must appear in a written proposal and contract before work begins.
WHAT THE RESULT MEANS
A decision is not yet an agreement
Reaching a threshold does not guarantee that Input Record will issue a proposal.
Input Record cannot act for the artist until authority is defined in a signed agreement.
Compensation, expenses and revenue participation must be disclosed and negotiated in writing.
The full agreement remains private and is prepared only after proposal terms are understood.

Selected projects move to a written collaboration proposal
The proposal defines the objectives, services, responsibilities, timeline, governance and financial model before any private agreement is prepared.
